“Command those who are rich in this present age not to be
haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living
God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do
good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing
to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for
the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life”
(1 Tim 1:17-19).

“But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied
by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so
we cannot take anything out of it either. If we have food and
covering, with these we shall be content. But those who want to
get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and
harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For
the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing
for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves
with many griefs.” (1 Timothy 6:6–10)

“Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same
nature as you, and preach the gospel to you that you should turn
from these vain things to a living God, WHO MADE THE HEAVEN AND
THE EARTH AND THE SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM. “In the generations
gone by He permitted all the nations to go their own ways; and yet
He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and
gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your
hearts with food and gladness.”” (Acts 14:15–17)

Every good and perfect gift is “from above.”

retirement incomes, our pension plans, our wealth, our
clothes, intellect, position in life, the turkeys on our
thanksgiving tables, etc., owes their origin to God.

Look at David!
Read: (1 Chronicles 29:10–20)
For all things come from You, and from Your hand
we have given You. “For we are sojourners before
You, and tenants, as all our fathers were; our days
on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no
hope.

“For who regards you as superior? What
do you have that you did not receive? And
if you did receive it, why do you boast as
if you had not received it?”
