December 23 / I Timothy 6:3-21

I Timothy 6:3-21

Dear RTB’ers,

Paul shares two reflections on wealth in today’s reading.

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.

I Timothy 6:9-10a

As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

I Timothy 6:18-19

Riches: If you have it, use it wisely. If you don’t have it, be careful how you seek it.

Blessings!
