Command those who are rich in this
present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the
living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that
they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for
themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on
eternal life. –1 Timothy 6:17-19
My
Prayer for Today
Father, never let
me forget what matters most in life. Though I may prosper in every way and have
all that I need and more, let it not be my first focus. Riches are fleeting and
fully unworthy of my trust. You alone are my everlasting provision and
safeguard against turmoil and disaster.
My Confession for Today
I am in complete self-control. I do not
trust in uncertain riches, but in the counsel of my God. He richly provides me
with good things of every kind to enjoy. I am not only rich in possessions, but
rich in good deeds as well, being ever generous and always willing to share.
Through my acts of generosity, I lay up for myself an abundance of treasures in
heaven as a firm foundation for my future. (Matthew 6:20.) In this, I have
taken hold of the life that is truly life-the very life that God desires for me
to live. (Deuteronomy 30:19; John 20:31 NIV.)
