You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. Many have lost sight of the wise use of money that the Lord intended. They have failed to see the responsibility that goes along with any wealth God provides. Yet this is what happens whenever God is found to be off center, or absent from one's life.
Misplaced trust is formed in the human heart.
Thinking that money, or more of it, will be the solution to their problems and bring peace and contentment, and some sort of protection or guarantee to their soul, its acquisition has become their goal in life. So guard well your goals in life. Make sure that your trust is in God, in His Word, and in the following of His Son.
