Ecclesiastes 5:10
Ecclesiastes 5:10
Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This verse from Ecclesiastes 5:10 speaks to the insatiable nature of greed. The pursuit of wealth can easily become a never-ending cycle, where no amount of money ever satisfies. Birthdays provide an opportunity to reflect on our own attitudes toward money and wealth. Are we content with what we have, or do we constantly desire more? The Bible teaches that true satisfaction comes not from the accumulation of wealth but from contentment and gratitude for what we already have. When we love money more than anything else, we are setting ourselves up for dissatisfaction and emptiness. Let us learn to value relationships, purpose, and contentment over the fleeting allure of wealth, trusting that God provides what we truly need.
Proverbs 15:27
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
Proverbs 22:16
Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.
Proverbs 13:11
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
