Wisdom Squandered, Day 10

When is enough enough? Read Ecclesiastes 5:8-12.

It’s a common theme that I hear all the time, “I need more money.” Our world is a deeply materialistic place. We have made the illusion of financial security to be a foundational goal that many people spend their lifetime trying to attain, yet no one can even really define exactly what it means to be financially secure.

Solomon was tremendously wealthy as king. In addition, he was King during a time when the people had the greatest economic prosperity that they were going to have as a nation. And yet, as he is evaluating his life, we see that he says that loving money is meaningless.

Money is a great tool, but it is a terrible master. God has promised that he will provide for our needs, and he keeps that promise. But that does not mean that God will provide riches and wealth for everyone. We must trust in God for everything. We are not to trust in money, or in our ability to make money. God is the one who provides. Is that our focus today?
