Abundantly blessed ?
By: Robert A. Searles
My
dear brothers and sisters in Christ. Are you one of those persons whom
God has blessed over and abundantly 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 for your apparent success? I
must warn you to take heed that you do not glorify yourself and pat
yourself on the back, as it were, for having attained these things,
because, 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 temptation 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 sorrows.
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
