For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. – 1 Timothy 6:10-11:

The love of money can quietly steer our hearts away from God, bringing regret and sorrow. Paul warns that coveting wealth can cause us to err from the faith, but he also points us to a better way: flee what tempts you and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and meekness. Practically, that means checking our motives, choosing generosity over greed, and trusting God for provision. When we center our lives on Christ instead of possessions, peace and purpose follow.
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, help me to flee the love of money and to seek You first. Fill my heart with righteousness, faith, love, patience, and meekness. Give me wisdom to steward what You’ve given, courage to be generous, and contentment in Your provision. Financial stability to take care of everyday needs and necessities. Guard my heart from the things that bring sorrow and lead me into death of deception. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen and Amen.
