Today's Scripture *May 12, 2010*
Revelation 18: 14-19
"They will say, 'The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.' The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn and cry out:
" 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
Dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,
And glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!'
" 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
Dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet,
And glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls!
In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!'
"Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out:
" 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
Where all who had ships on the sea
Became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin!
" 'Woe! Woe, O great city,
Where all who had ships on the sea
Became rich through her wealth!
In one hour she has been brought to ruin!
God's people should not live for money, because money will be worthless in eternity. And they should keep on guard constantly against greed, a sin that is always ready to take over their lives. God wants us to work and to provide for our families, and He commands the proper use of money. But when the desire for money fills our lives, it becomes a false god. Don't be enslaved by the desire for wealth.
Ecclesiastes 5:10 Whoever loves money never has money enough; Whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless.
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many grief's.
Father, we praise You and thank You for all that You have blessed us with. Thank You for Your provision in our lives. Thank You for the countless ways that You have provided for Your people. We honor You! We worship You! May money or the lack of it--never take the place of our worship and gratefulness for all that You have done for us and all that You will continue to do for all eternity. We praise You. In the Name of Jesus, the Name above all names, Amen..
