God's Blessings

God blesses His people. But, we are told to "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." Proverbs 15:27 says "He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, But he who hates bribes will live." "Godliness with contentment is great gain". I Timothy 6:6 [It is great gain for your soul to have contentment and godliness.] "For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." (verse 7) Verse 5 talks about "useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain." and tells us "From such withdraw yourself." In other words, stay away from those who seek to be rich through "godliness" and don't seek riches, but seek God. And be content with what you have. "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition." I Timothy 6:9 Lord, help us to seek you first and be content with what we have.
