The Vanity of Wealth | Ecclesiastes 5:8-20
The Bible does not say that money itself is a root of all kinds of evils. It says that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. The question is not, “Do you have money?” It is, “Does money have you?” Wealth, when enjoyed within God’s boundaries, is a blessing to our lives. We often underestimate how much a love of money has taken hold of our hearts. Solomon warns us that the worship of money will leave us empty in the end. “As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.” (1 Timothy 6:17) Take-Home Message: The worship of wealth is vanity.
