The Future Trillionaire!
"He who loves silver will not be satisfied
with silver; nor he who loves abundance,
with increase."
Ecclesiastes 5: 10
One day in the not-too-distant future we’re going to
learn about the world’s first trillionaire. Elon Musk
is about a third of the way
there.
Imagine the headlines that will accompany the
announcement of a single person, whoever he
or she is, gains a net worth of a trillion
dollars!
The person will be penniless and poverty-stricken compared to the
child of God who trusts the Lord for the provisions of life. While we
work hard, save wisely, give generously, and manage our material
wealth, we shouldn’t be consumed with gaining earthly wealth.
Ecclesiastes 5:10 says, “Those who love money will never have
enough. How meaningless to think wealth brings true
happiness!”
(NLT) The Lord knows how to satisfy our hearts while meeting all
our needs.
It’s not just material needs He supplies. He
takes
care of us emotionally, spiritually, relationally, mentally,
and eternally. A trillion dollars is nothing compared to
a
heart trusting in God.
"God knows what we need and can always be trusted to provide
it. And by giving us our daily bread, God is teaching us a deeper
lesson. He wants us to learn that what we really need is himself."
Philip Graham Rykes
