PERFECT SECURITY SYSTEM

 
1 Samuel 17:37
 
"And David said, 'The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.' And Saul said to David, 'Go, and the Lord be with you!'" ESV
 
One of the major reasons many of us are weak in faith is that we do not allow our encouragement to come from God. Rather, we listen to the voices without and within about the dangers, the impossibilities, the pointless trying. We have the choice to do as David did. He acknowledged that God delivered him before from horrifying dangers. He declared again when faced with even more danger, that God would do as He had always done, deliver him in victory. And God did, just as David believed by faith.
 
Heavenly Father, we pray that our faith will increase as we draw encouragement from You and the Word as we recall the times You have rescued us in the past. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

DANGEROUS RICHES AND WEALTH

 
1 Timothy 6:9,10


"But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs." ESV


Those who spend much time seeking after material things are most vulnerable to giving in to temptations in order to get more. They become trapped in their search for riches, making unwise decisions that eventually destroy their financial health and worse, their souls. Loving to be rich or loving to acquire material things is the source from which many evil things come.


Heavenly Father, You have told us that where our treasure is, there will our hearts be. Forgive us for keeping our attention on accumulating things here on earth so that we will be like others and we will appear affluent and acceptable. Give us hearts of temperance and moderation so that we will be healthy money wise and our souls will be kept safe. We pray earnestly in the name of Jesus, Amen.
