The Way Of The Wicked

 

Today's verse is Proverbs 1:19

     So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain;

      Which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

    In another place, Jesus said through Paul, “[T]he love of money is the root of all evil.” Is not this evident in the world about us, some even accusing other of this greed, that they might steal their wealth for themselves? If we look at the verses preceding this one, we find that such of their own greed will destroy themselves even as they destroy others. But God has a better way and is willing to allow us to provide for ourselves and others, if we but seek him first and his righteousness. So let us first admit our need, and accept his gift, which he gave freely on the Cross, and determine to follow him and his ways, even unto death, and has he has promised, we shall be heirs with him in the Kingdom of God. Amen.

To God be the Glory
