Paul begins today’s passage revisiting the idea of false
teachers and their faulty thinking that godliness leads to gain. He is quick to
share how wealth and riches are of no gain when a person has an eternal
perspective. Instead of putting energy and focus on the desire to gain wealth,
as Christians we are challenged to “pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love,
endurance and gentleness”. No matter our financial situation God desires us to
place our trust and hope in Him, that He will provide.
Questions to consider…
In what practical ways can you pursue one of the things that Paul challenges us to seek?
How is money a distraction from this?
Pray…
Thank you Lord for providing for our needs. Thank you for
the reminder that our hope and attention should be on eternal things, not on
earthly wealth that will pass away. Please help us to be wise and generous with
what you’ve entrusted to us, that we may use it for your glory.
The Bux-Mont & Telford Campuses of the Penn Valley Church Multi-site Network are participating in the e100 Challenge, a 100-day Bible reading program. True revival comes from prayer and knowing the Word of God. We can only live the life God intended if we know what He says about it. Join us as we read through this plan and grow deeper in our knowledge of God's Word.
