Inspired thots
A comparison between God and self - how God is and how I am.
So different; such a vast contrast.
God's word - gives SOUND instruction & GODLY teaching.
2 Tim. 6:6 - Godliness with Contentment is Great Gain!
The world is really a TEMPORARY place for me - 'having brought NOTHING INTO the world, I can Take NOTHING Out' v7
Be Content with the Basic things of life - Food and Clothing (v8)
Wanting to get rich - v9 - falls into Temptation & a Trap & foolish and harmful desires (sin) that cause destruction and ruin
v10 for the LOVE of MONEY is A Root of ALL kinds of evil.
Watch out! Eager for $$$ - possibility of wandering from the faith
^ (NO MORE TIME for GOD)
^ - pierce self with griefs
^ (Emotional Sorrows inflicted - worry, anxiety, stress, fear)
Inversely - Flee from Pursuing $$$ which brings on much sorrows.
Pursue Godly attributes - Righteousness, Godliness, Faith, Love, Endurance, Gentleness
v12 FIGHT the GOOD Fight of Faith
v17 Do not put hope in Wealth (so uncertain - here today, gone tomorrow)
Put my hope in God alone WHO richly provides ME with EVERYTHING for my Enjoyment.
Be RICH only in good deeds - generosity & sharing.
That is the TRUE ESSENCE of Life.
