A Devoted Heart

He determined not to let wealth get in the way of his devotion to God. Rather, he wanted to serve God with his assets and help the needy.

Throughout the centuries, God has blessed some people materially. We read of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 17:5, The Lord established the kingdom…so that he had great wealth and honor. H did not become proud or bully others with his wealth. Instead, his heart was devoted to the ways of the Lord. Also, he followed the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord.

The Lord is not against wealth for He has blessed some with it.
