Proverbs 21: 5 Commentary

How to be truly rich!

Isaiah 55:2 Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.

Luke 10:42 but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

Proverbs 23:4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

Matthew 6:19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

Mark 4:19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.

1 Timothy 6:9 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.

Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

Proverbs 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.

Proverbs 15:27 A greedy man brings trouble to his family, but he who hates bribes will live.

Proverbs 28:20 A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished.

There is nothing twrong if one becomes rich…but the important thing is that our riches should be in our relationship with God and our taking in the knowledge that lead to eternal life!
