As you “settle in” to “engage” in the eleventh month; this too will be beneficial to remember….
Hebrews 13:5-6…Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be satisfied with what you have…For God has said, “I will never leave you; i will never abandon you.”…
Let us be bold, then, and say, “The Lord is my helper, i will not be afraid…What can anyone do to me?”…
1 Timothy 6:9-10…But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction…
For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil…And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows…
We all agree that we “need” money…but we are “cautioned” against the “love of money”….
Why is the “love of money” dangerous??? It “breeds” greed…One is willing and ready to do whatever it takes to get money…They will betray…sabotage and sometimes get into criminal activities to “get” it…The “love of money” creates an insatiable desire for more and more…which becomes an obsession….
We are adviced “be satisfied with what you have”…that doesn’t mean that you are not ambitious to better your live; it makes you to carefully “consider” every step you make….
This is the right way to “start off” this month ….then God assures you “I will never leave you…I will never abandon you.”…
To avoid “falling” into temptation as described in 1 Timothy 6:9-10; you are adviced to “speak out” and say ” the Lord is my helper, i will not be afraid…what can anyone do to me!!!”….
Because we all have “pressing” needs; to overcome this temptation, one will require character and intergrity …the ability to endure “hardship” rather than take a “short-cut” or get compromised…
How can you “build” character and intergrity!!!
Joshua 1:8…Study this Book of Instruction(bible) continually…Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it….Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do…
