RICHES IN CHRIST

The focus on and love of money is everywhere in our culture. What did Paul tell Timothy to teach his flock in 1 Timothy 6?

What do you learn from these verses? Do you think of yourself as rich? Most people in America would fall into this category from Paul’s perspective—even if you see yourself as middle class rather than rich. So what can you do this week to act on what Paul is teaching? If you have children, and even if you don’t, what can you do to illustrate these principles to them? Think of something you or you and your children together can do for your neighbors or another group of people. Keep in mind who gave the five loaves and two fish (John 6:9).

The Lord instructs us to be free from the love of money so we can love Him, love the Word, and love others.

Whom do you love? What do you love? What is the fruit in your life that supports the answer you gave to those questions?

The Lord has made us so rich in Him. We are His children and are heirs to a wonderful inheritance. Ask the Lord to help you hide His Word in your heart and to reveal to you His perspective, His heart, and His ways. Thank the Lord for all of the riches you have been given in Christ. Ask Him to increase your wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of what you have been given. Ask Him to show you His perspective of money and riches!
