Thought For Today – November 11
Abundantly Blessed?
My dear brothers and sisters in
Christ, are you one of those persons whom God has abundantly blessed
more than you could ever expect? Are you rich in the things of this
world? Do you own a large estate? Do you have houses and lands, and
bank accounts at your disposal to do with as you wish? Have you
attained a high degree of education and do your peers look upon you
with great admiration and pat you on the back, as it were, for
having attained these things? But for the grace of our living
Savior, you would have nothing and you could become nothing.
The bible says: “Men of corrupt
minds and destitute of truth, suppose that gain is godliness. ….”.
1 Timothy 6: 5. But the real truth of the matter is that -
“Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing
into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out, and
having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that
will be rich fall into temptations and a snare and into many foolish
and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For
the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted
after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through
with many arrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and
follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience,
meekness.” 1 Timothy 6: 11.
“Charge them that are rich in
this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain
riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to
enjoy.” 1 Timothy 6: 17.
