Everlasting Contentment

Those who are led around by a love for money will never know contentment in Christ. They will be easily led and manipulated because money is fickle and easy to lose. Security cannot be found in money; it can only be found in God who faithfully promises to never forsake us. Wealth can give no such assurance. If we make lots of money in our obedience to God and in using the gifts which he has given us, then let us use that money to praise him and love others. If we make barely enough to get by, let us continue to praise him and find everlasting contentment in his grace.

When money is tight, what I have is still yours. You are to be praised in times of prosperity, and you are to be praised in times of thrift. I will entrust my needs to you, Lord, because you can be counted on.
