The Heaviness of Riches

Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.…When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Matt 19:23,25-26 (KJV)

     It is hard for a rich man to admit his need and come to Christ. O how they trust in riches though their hearts are sorrowed by it! But there is hope for even the rich man—with God nothing is possible! May you always remember that the phrase “with God all things are possible” was a direct answer of Jesus to His disciples questions of if it is hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven then who can be saved?

A Thought on Riches

 

 

There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

 26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

 27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

 28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

Proverbs 11:24-28 (KJV)

Find yourself unfulfilled even though you’ve succeeded?

Find yourself unfulfilled even though you’ve succeeded?

 

To the businessman who has made a bunch, but in reality has internal poverty:

 He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth

 

not that poverty shall come upon him. Prov 28:22 (KJV)
