Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor
to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their
hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
1 Timothy 6:17
A few words from Rick Warren regarding this scripture...
You may be under a lot of stress right now because of the economy, but God still wants you to enjoy life.
As a Christian, you can enjoy life because your
conscience is clear. You can enjoy life because you are secure within
God’s love. You can have fun and laugh in church. You can enjoy friends
who don’t manipulate you because they are learning to be like Jesus, and
that means they are learning to look out for the interests of others.
Unfortunately, there are many people who do not want
to let God into their lives because they fear he will make them give up
anything that is fun. They think that to become a Christian is the same
as saying the party’s over, that to be spiritual is to be miserable.
People are frantically looking for fun fixes, but
that means they operate under the law of diminishing returns. They spend
more time, more money, and more energy to get less and less of a
thrill. They go around asking, “Are we having fun yet?”
The truth is, God “richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment” (1 Timothy 6:17b NIV).
God wants you to enjoy life!
