Proverbs 28:22
He that
hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall
come upon him.
The Lord
never intended us to operate in a hasty way to make money. This could lead to gambling, risks, criminal
activity and getting involved with people to our own demise. Money can lure us down a dangerous road. We should never labor to get rich and we must
not love money. If we do love money we
will be serving another God. We cannot
serve both God and money. The Lord can
bless us and He might choose to give us riches but we must not pursue such
schemes. This is usually rooted in a bit
of slothfulness and impatience. It might
even be rooted in covetousness and a lack of gratefulness. When we feel the pull to be hasty to get
rich, consider that poverty most likely will come out of it. If it seems too good to be true it probably
is. Seek first His kingdom. Work for your Lord. He will add those things that you need.
