Do you crave for being rich? How good is it worth? (Part 5)

Eleventh: the worst is that many people end up serving the money instead of domineering it.

• Matthew 6:24 -> “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”.
• Luke 16:13 -> “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”.

Twelfth: not to mention that many people sell, unduly, their soul to Ha-Satan:

• Matthew 4:9-10 -> “and he said to Him, "All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me." Then Jesus said to him, "Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’”.

And no wonder! The trust of the rich is his wealth:

• Proverbs 18:11 -> “A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall in his own imagination.”.

Now it’s easy to figure out the verse below:

• Proverbs 15:6 -> “Great wealth is in the house of the righteous, But trouble is in the income of the wicked.”

Tomorrow we will continue. For now, take pleasure in what you are and have, and have a good day in the simplicity of Jesus.
