Proverbs 23:4-5 (NKJV)4 Do not overwork to be rich; Because of your own understanding, cease! 5 Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; They fly away like an eagle toward heaven.
Wealth. It’s something that so many of us chase after, but so few attain.
What’s even worse, many of the people who become rich end up losing it all after a period of time. And then they have to start all over again.
God is not against us being rich or wealthy with material means. In fact, poverty is a trap in and of itself that can be used by the enemy to bring us down to new levels of low.
But what God doesn’t want is for us to spend our lives chasing after wealth and missing out on what He really wants us to be doing.
So stop and check yourself today. Are all those hours we’re working really necessary to support ourselves and our family, or are they simply our own way of chasing after things that we don’t really need and can’t really afford?
Hmm. Let’s think about that one and be really honest with ourselves.
