Observation

What point is made regarding material wealth in the scheme of eternity?

Application

Am I devoted more to earthly wealth than to eternal riches?

Prayer

Pray today’s Scripture back to God:

Dear God, The lure of money and all that it can bring in this life is strong. Please keep me from the love of money, and from jealous envy of those who have more than I. Instead, remind me of my eternal treasure in You! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Pray to BLESS!

One good way to pray for people is to use the acronym BLESS to pray for God’s blessing on every area of their lives:

• B – BODY (physical health)
• L – Labor (their job or school)
• E – Emotions (emotional health as well as guarding against letting emotions rule)
• S – Social (relationships with family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, church, etc)
• S – Spiritual (remaining true to God and growing in Him)
