Words of Encouragement
May - 27 - 2007
What determines our financial worth? Do we compute it in terms of dollars, or possessions, or investments? Paul reminded Timothy that ultimate gain, the gain of inestimable value, is really determined by a very simple formula: net worth = (godly character) X (contentment). What would happen if we recognized the truly wealthy as those who were godly in their character and contented with their blessings in life?
The Scripture reading today is 1 Timothy 6:6.
But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.
Let us pray.
O LORD God, the one from whom every blessing flows, readjust our values from the greed of this world to a holy set of financial convictions. Conform our character to the godliness that Jesus demonstrated in his daily life. Teach us the contentment that can be found only in You.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen
