Proverbs 15:16 (NKJV) Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, Than great treasure with trouble.
Many people spend years of their lives chasing wealth. Sadly, a large percentage of those people never find it. When this happens, it can make some people quite miserable.
For other people, they choose to be content with what they have and not constantly longing after what they don’t have. These people are usually quite happy.
There is nothing wrong with wealth, but making the pursuit of it your primary focus can cause you to become unhappy and discontent.
Many times, people with great wealth also have great trouble. There’s just something about having a lot of money that seems to invite it, especially when people don’t understand how to handle that money.
So if you haven’t been blessed with abundant finances, don’t fall for the temptation to make gaining great wealth your primary focus in life.
We need to learn to be content with what we have before we pursue anything more. Once we learn to be content, then we are on our way to being ready for more.
