Hasty Inheritance
June 19, 2022
“Hasty Inheritance"
Blessings folk!
Hear the Word of the Lord!
Pro 20:21
An inheritance gained hastily in the beginning
will not be blessed in the end.
ESV
Example after example could be provided of this.
An inheritance gained early in life often is not blessed in the end.
We know the pattern.
Excessive spending.
Excessive sloth.
Excessive time of life left after the “money runs out”.
Trust is put in resources rather than in the Lord.
Be content…
1 Ti 6:6-9
Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.
After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world,
and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it.
So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.
But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.
Godliness with contentment is the ultimate wealth.
Pursue godliness.
The Lord provides what is needed.
