Hope, Traps, Griefs

Our world is constantly on the move, continually striving, always grabbing, but never getting enough. Today look for some perspective on finding true satisfaction in life.

1 Timothy 6:6-12, 17 (New International Version)

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith.

...

17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

Where is your focus? What do you trust? Are you free? What holds your chain?

Boldly live the life you were called to live and Don't Give Up!
