How Bad Do You Want IT?

I Timothy 6:3-10

READ –  “Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.” — I Timothy 6:6 NLT EXAMINE – Once again, Paul warned Timothy concerning false teachers. False teachers reject the truths of Biblical teaching (I Timothy 6:3). They are troublemakers who are always arguing and causing division (I Timothy 6:4). Ultimately, they are motivated by tainted wealth and greed (I Timothy 6:5). But for Paul, the greatest wealth is godliness and contentment (I Timothy 6:6-8). Too many want money so bad until they work iniquity, worry unnecessarily, and wander spiritually from God (I Timothy 6:9-10).  APPLY –  How bad do you want IT? How far will you go to get IT? What will you sacrifice to have IT? Who will you leave for IT? One powerful lesson we should have learned from the pandemic and its shutdowns is that we could survive without IT! So, stop chasing IT and be thankful for HIM! Spend some time today being content with all that God has already given you. PRAY – Father God, open our eyes so that we can see just how blessed we are and then open our hands so that we can bless others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
