As I witnessed someone today going to great lengths to purchase a powerball ticket in another state, this passage came to mind:
- Proverbs 30:8 Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me, 9 lest I be full and deny you and say, “Who is the LORD?” or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God.
A needed reminder. Our hope is not in riches or wealth but the LORD.
