We thank God for His protection over us, today makes it exactly one week to the end of the year, may God's name be praised. While we are in the celebrations and holidays season, God has words for us again. These words of God are for us so we don't fall into temptations, so we don't fall into snares and hurtful lusts that are destructive. Bible says righteousness with contentment is great gain. God knows when there is no contentment in the heart of anyone such person will never be satisfied or grateful for whatever God gives them, they will continue to pursue after worldly things. The next verse says we bring nothing to the world and we won't take nothing out. This verse is a caution to us, so we don't because of money or worldly things lose our eternity. Everything we acquire in the world stays in the world, so it doesn't worth it doing anything sinful or dangerous to ourselves or humanity to get money at all cost. We should not make other people suffer or cry to make ourselves happy. God won't continue to watch such things and do nothing, He will send judgment at the right time. When we have heart of contentment, we care about others needs and we wait for God to give us our own without having to forcefully take from someone who trusts us. It is wrong. Again God is telling us that love of money is root of all evil, meaning people who are coveting after it always have to do evil things to get it. And God is also telling us love of money can make someone leave the truth of the gospel, reason many pastors are not preaching true gospel today and just preaching money. Love of money has led them away from God. May God keep us in the faith of the gospel of Jesus Christ. May God give us heart of contentment and heart of gratitude for all God is giving us. May God help us not to make others sad to make ourselves happy, may God give us the fear of God even while we are praying for money that will glorify God. Amen.
