“But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
1 Timothy 6:6
“The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil,” Paul warned. “Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs” (v. 10).
What, then, is the antidote to greed? Being “rich toward God,” said Jesus (see Luke 12:13–21). By pursuing, appreciating, and loving our heavenly Father above all, He remains our chief delight. As the psalmist wrote, “Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days” (Psalm 90:14)
Rejoicing in Him daily relieves us of coveting, leaving us contented.
How have you mishandled money, or made it more than it ought to be?
How might you give your financial concerns to God this day?
