I'm 68. still working to get by. I've had Christians who own a home, have nice car, nice retirement account so they don't have to work. But tell me I shouldn't be asking GOD for material things. I remind them, everything you have is from the hand of GOD. Yet somehow, my asking GOD for any material thing is wrong. I don't get it.
“Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
James 4:2-4 KJV
sometimes if our needs are met day to day is a good thing and having too much is a bad thing depending on the state of our own heart greedy or money hungry person will destroy themselves with money but someone who doesnt care either way and has intentions of doing good for others will bless with it
God already knows our needs better than us he’s promised to
Meet them but hasn’t promised to make us rich in the world or we’ll off but that we will have our needs met daily
money isn’t evil but can lead to destruction of our heart isnt right
“But they that will be ( desire to be ) rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”
1 Timothy 6:9-12 KJV
I’m not saying throw of you or anything sounds like you just want enough to get by and be comfortable I’m just saying it’s a pretty tricky matter ot depends on the state and shape of our heart and whether money means too much to us I’d rather live under a bridge than be led into temptations and err from salvstion with a big bank account material blessings in Christ are a bi product and not the goal or intent
one day brother you will have all things at your grasp even eternal Life in the presence of God look forward into thy riches of his glory
