“... give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’” (Proverbs 30:8). We have referred to financial issues several times in this podcast, but in this episode we unpack it to look at the dangers money can pose where it can so easily become a god in our lives and precipitate a slide into a hollow and destructive lifestyle, missing the life God had intended for us. The story of Solomon provides insights into this important topic. Solomon began life well but was overtaken by his obsession with power, wealth and women. Ultimately, he was disciplined by God and did not live the life God had purposed for him. We may not have the position and wealth of Solomon, but his story warns us of the pitfalls of losing sight of God’s priorities and purposes. How do we guard our hearts and minds from the same in a world that esteems wealth and privilege?
