Faith & Fortune

It’s easy to be deceived and envious of those who strike it rich. Bought Amazon when it was six dollars a share? Have a flash drive full of bitcoin? Raking in jackpots? Ever considered something your friend has and longed for it? 

The wisdom literature of the Bible encourages the Christian to use what God has given you for sharing with others. If you spend it all on a slot machine or sports books, what have you to give to the poor? A fool and his money are soon parted from one another. 

Instead, consider that the environments you frequent may be designed to be addictive. Caution your heart against things that lead to jealousy, envy, strife, and theft. Instead, work with your hands that you may have something to share with your neighbor. Guard your heart against idolatry. Give not what is holy to the dogs.
