The desire for “more” can be
a destructive force to your life and faith.
Read the following verses. Think
and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.
I Timothy 6:9-10
People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into
many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and
destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some
people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced
themselves with many griefs.
Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you
have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I
forsake you.”
Ecclesiastes 5:10,12
Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is
never satisfied with his income… The abundance of a rich man permits him
no sleep.
Proverbs 20:17
Some men enjoy cheating, but the cake they buy with such ill-gotten gain
will turn to gravel in their mouths.
Proverbs 20:21
Quick wealth is not a blessing in the end.
Habakkuk 2:9
How terrible it will be for you who get rich by unjust means!
Proverbs 11:24
It is possible to give freely and become more wealthy, but those who are
stingy will lose everything.
It’s not the high cost of living, it’s
the cost of living too high
that gets most people in trouble.
When your outgo exceeds your income,
your upkeep will lead to your downfall.

God Knows Bob’s Bus Number
My
friend Bob first started giving 10% or more of his paycheck to God
when he was in his mid-30s. At first, he was scared to start doing
this, but as time went on he discovered how faithful God could be in
providing for his needs. One day he called me and told me the story
of when he was completely broke and couldn’t even afford to
purchase the bus pass he needed to get back and forth to work. As he
was sitting at his desk feeling sorry for himself, the phone rang
and a woman in another department asked Bob if he knew anyone that
needed a week’s bus pass for bus #47. Bob said, "That’s my bus #,
and yes, I need a bus pass!” He was amazed. Bob was learning to give
to God first when he got paid, and he was experiencing God as his
faithful provider. He told everyone that God even knew his bus #!
