Paul is writing to Timothy and advising Timothy to "command" those who were rich not to be haughty and not to trust in uncertain riches.
This is more true today where people strive their entire lives for wealth and yet neglect their eternity.
As Christ followers, we need to be aware that all our needs on earth will be taken care of by GOD if we trust in HIM. This does not mean that we can stop working and depend entirely on GOD for our livelihood. GOD wants us to work but we are not to give ourselves over to the pursuit of worldly wealth. Rather we are to store up for ourselves treasures in Heaven.
This means that we actively have to do the Will of GOD.
We can find out the Will of GOD for our lives through prayer and through reading the Word of GOD.
Today, let us put aside any worldly thoughts and ask our FATHER to show us what HE wants for our lives rather than what we want. Then let us pursue HIS will.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, today I pray that YOU show me YOUR will for my life. FATHER, I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay obediently GOD blessed today!
