Bible Verse of The Day – 4-20-21

1 Timothy 6:10 (NKJV) 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Money, in and of itself, is not evil. But rather, the love of having it is.

When we get to a point where our money, and the desire for more of it, runs us, then we are in trouble.

How does our money control us?

When we don’t give, and when we hold back from God, keeping what is not ours, then we are likely being controlled by our money.

There is an amount of our money that God asks us to give back to Him.

Malachi 3:8 (NJKV) 8 “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings.

That amount is 10 percent of our pay, or anything that comes into our hands. He gets that first and foremost.

Then He asks us to give offerings from time to time.

This is something that is typically spur of the moment. It just happens.

We will be somewhere doing something, and we will hear Him; “Give to this situation, or give to that person. Pay for their groceries, or help them with their mortgage. Pay for their meal tonight. Buy them some clothes. Give them gas money”.

These are a few of the things that we have heard at times.

God requires us all to be givers. He wants us to be ready to open up our pocket and give at any time that He leads us to do so.

Don’t love money more than we love God. Doing so will make us miserable and we will often lose most of what we have.

Be obedient with our money, and see what God will do for us. He loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7 (NJKV) 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
