Wealth

Dear Lord please give us strength on this day to cope with what ever comes our way, may it be sweet or sour. Help us to learn how to be concerned with what is important, and let the unimportant things be let go from our care. Please may the Holy Spirit guide us through the narrow avenues of thought as we try to separate the wealth of neighborly love and fellowship, from the ugliness of the love of the coveted wealth and material things of the world, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:
No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has. -Beecher

KJV
Pr 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Pr 11:28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

Pr 30:8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
Pr 30:9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

Mt 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mt 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mt 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
