TOPIC: Worldly Wealth Cannot Satisfy
The blessing of the LORD makes rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.
– Proverbs 10:22
Worldly wealth carries sorrow with it. Continue to fix your eyes on Jesus. Although our nation seems to be rocking and reeling under a heavy weight of materialism and darkness, God is now, has always been, and will forever be our refuge and strength and our very present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).
The spiritual attacks on our country cannot be fixed in the natural, no matter what politician makes promises to fix what’s wrong with America. These are perilous times, times we do not have an answer for. The political system will not fix America’s ills.
Righteousness exalts a nation, and we need to walk in righteousness, because sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 14:34). When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people mourn (Proverbs 29:2). If we, as followers of Christ, live our everyday lives to honor Him, we will set an example for our nation.
Holy Spirit, help me live daily for Christ so that I can be an example of His righteousness to our nation.
