For the love of money is a root of all evils, because of which some, aspiring after money, have been led away from the faith and pierced themselves through with many pains.\r\nTopic\uff1a<\/strong>Handling Finances\r\nEmphasis\uff1a<\/strong>To live on the earth we need proper finance. Verse 8 touches a Christian\u2019s attitude toward the finance: \u201cBut having food and covering, with these we will be content.\u201d Verse 10 warns us about the consequence of loving money: \u201c\u2026 pierced themselves through with many pains.\u201d\r\nMeditate\uff1a<\/strong>1 Timothy 4:8 says \u201cbut godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the present life and of that which is to come\u201d. Verse 5 of Chapter 6 says the same thing from an opposite angle \u201c\u2026 supposing godliness to be a means of gain\u201d. Verse 6 concludes: \u201cBut godliness with contentment is great gain;\u201d Think about the relationship between these 3 verses.\r\nPrayer\uff1a<\/strong>Lord, preserve me that I may not love money or be tempted by money. Grant me a heart of contentment that I may give thanks in all things.\r\nHymn\uff1a<\/strong>Lord, for this day, thankful to You<\/a>\r\n
