---CREDIT WHERE DUE ~~~

--"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment."
--(1 TIMOTHY 6:17= NIV)--

---The Bible warns us that wealth is deceptive. To be deceived is to believe something to be true that in reality is not true. Wealth will cause you to believe things to be true about yourself that are not true. It will make you think you earned it. But the Bible very clearly says that God is the One who gives us the ability to accumulate wealth—that all of the gold and silver belongs to Him and that your blessings are a result of God’s involvement in your life.

-I cannot tell you how many people have come to me and said, “Pastor, I hear what you’re saying, but I’ve worked hard. I went to school and got a good education. I got up earlier and stayed up later. I’ve invested wisely. I’ve taken greater risks.” I believe that all of those factors contribute to your ability to do well. But the reality is that you can do all of those things and still struggle to accumulate wealth. Work hard, certainly, but then ask God to bless your efforts and thank Him for His provision.

**THINK ABOUT IT
-Do you tend to claim credit for your material blessings, or do you thank God, privately and publicly, for His provision?

--**PRAYER
-"Heavenly Father, I put all of my trust in You, and I rejoice in Your provision for my life. May Your truth become more precious to me than the things of this world. Guide me in the path of righteousness and deliver me from evil. In Jesus’ name, amen."

**Blessings,
