Proverbs 15:16 (NKJV) Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, Than great treasure with trouble.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
For other people, they choose to be content with what they have and not constantly longing after what they don’t have. These<\/i> people are usually quite happy.<\/p>\n
There is nothing wrong with wealth, but making the pursuit of it your primary focus can cause you to become unhappy and discontent.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
We need to learn to be content with what we have before we pursue anything more. Once we learn to be content, then<\/i> we are on our way to being ready for more.<\/p>\n
