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. But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. 1 Timothy 6:6-11

The WARNING:

ATTITUDE

FOCUS

GIFT

It ALL comes from him… Every good and perfect gift is from God. It comes down from the Father. James 1:17

It ALL belongs to Him… The earth and everything it contains are the LORD's. The world and all who live in it are his. Psalm 24:1

RESPONSIBLITY

“Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with all you have.” Hebrews 13:5

A lens that has a warning Shares an attitude Gives us focus Provides for us a Godly gift Asks us to be responsible.

“…Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:7

May you choose to HEED God’s warnings… May you choose to PURSUE righteousness… May you choose to GLORIFY God in all we say and do… May you choose to become RESPONSIBLE stewards… May you choose to be CONTENT in Godliness… May you simply choose to TRUST GOD…in ALL things!
