Good Life Table Talk

 

Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless. Ecclesiastes 5:10 NIV

 

Go around the table and ask each person what importance do they put on money? What do you think God is saying in this scripture to us? Does money truly satisfy and bring happiness, or is it simply a tool to be used to do things for others, to advance the things of God, to take care of our needs and our families?

 

The discovery of Solomon is one that says, money should not be your life pursuit, but simply used as a tool to take care of things as you pursue and run after the things of God, the things that matter eternally not temporarily. All things shall one day pass away and be made new or as some might say “you can’t take it with you”. In the end of our life what will we look back and say we pursued more than anything else?

 

Lord, help us to place importance on the things that really matter in life, and to think about the time spent with our family, with You, with our friends. Help us to create ways to give our life away not hoard up our treasures on this earth so moth and rust can easily destroy, but to place our treasure on the things that matter to You Lord.  Lord, help us to be grateful for what you have given to us at all times and to never become obsessed with

money, material possessions, or attaining wealth to be self serving. Help us to remain wise and humble in the matters of how we use our money and how we spend our money.

In Jesus Name,

Amen
