Losing Our Way Read: 1 Timothy 6:6-10 The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness. 1 Timothy 6:10 Bible in a Year: Ezekiel 42-44; 1 John 1 An online survey conducted by a New York law firm reveals that 52 percent of Wall Street traders, brokers, investment bankers, and other financial service professionals have either engaged in illegal activity or believe they may need to do so in order to be successful. The survey concludes that these financial leaders have lost their moral compass and accept corporate wrongdoing as a necessary evil. In mentoring young Timothy, the apostle Paul warned that the love of money and the desire to get rich had caused some to lose their way. They had yielded to temptations and embraced many foolish and harmful desires (1 Tim. 6:9). Paul saw the love of money (not money itself) as a source of all kinds of evil (v.10), especially the evil of trusting in money rather than depending on Christ. As we learn to see that Christ is the source of all we have, we will find contentment in Him rather than in material possessions. When we seek godliness rather than riches, we will gain a desire to be faithful with what we have been given. Let´s deliberately cultivate an attitude of contentment in God, and faithfully submit to Him, for our Provider will care for us. Father, it´s easy to see the problem that others have with loving money. But I know I have my own struggles too. I need Your help to learn thankfulness for all that You have given. Grow in me an attitude of contentment in You. To love money is to lose sight of the Source of life. |
