    Topel Sweeney on Proverbs 28 - 11 years ago
    God's values are contrary to that of our flesh and though the heart is deceitful and wicked; counsel from, meditation on, & obedience to the Word will lead us to prosperity. From a quick count at least (7) of the verses in this chapter deal with covetousness and the contrast of the rich and poor. Not that wealth is always linked to sin; but, being hasty to get $$$ isn't right.
    I'm reminded of DL Moody and how his intention to make it "big" in Chicago changed as he grew. His temporal goals were overshadowed by and replaced with eternal ones.

    1 Timothy 6:6 tells us that "...godliness with contentment is great gain."

    We are instructed to obey the WORD and not our own understanding. ( Proverbs 3:5&6)
    "Amen!"   Report
