3.10.10

Proverbs 11:4 Riches won't help on the day of judgement, but right living can save you from death.

My Thoughts

Does this mean you have to be poor?...No!!!... King Solomon was rich beyond imagination... but King Solomon was a very wise man... he sought God in everything.... and God rewarded him... and he gave glory to God for the things he had!... what we have will never get in the way of heaven, of eternal life is we remember that all that we have comes from God.... and we remember to thank God for the things we have and the things we can do!... when riches get in the way is when they puff us up with pride in ourselves...when they make us think "I am so smart, I am so great, look at me look at what I have, look at what I have accomplished", ... and we get so full of ourselves that we think what we have came from us... and we forget to thank God, to give God the glory, to seek him and walk with him.... Does God want us to be poor Christians? NO... he wants for us more then we even know to want for our ourselves... just like we want great things for our children... God wants great things for us!.... But God doesn't want riches to get in the way of us being with him forever in heaven.... remember today and every day after to thank God for all that you have... if you don't have the things you want... maybe you haven't thanked God for the things that you have.... maybe God is afraid to give you more because it will get in the way of heaven, of being with him... and if you stop and remember God is why you are, why you have, why you are able...and God knows you know this... then God will start blessing you with more.... we can have it all if we only remember that ALL of what we have is a gift from God!
