Get Rich Or Die Trying. Part [9] 06/09/2022 (Morning thought)

Deuteronomy 8:12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; 13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God.

The worldly investors and advisors too often leave God out of their thoughts, and for this reason they would make grievous errors in judgment from time to time. Not that those guys are not smart or intelligent, but what they do not have is foreknowledge, to know what will take place in the future. For instance, if Elon Musk had known that twitter stock would drop as it has done recently, he most likely wouldn’t have offered to buy the company for $54.00 a share.

Now, it is true that as Christians we too do not have foreknowledge, but we do serve the God Who has omniscience, and as such, if we were to ask Him, He could direct us in making the right move, whether it be Twitter, Crypto, or otherwise. This is just one of the reasons why The Lord said “Beware”.

Again, if in one’s haste to get rich, persons begin to neglect the study of God’s word, and if the services of the church do not seem to be all that important anymore, and if the Sabbath is now used as a day to catch up on one’s ZZZs that were lost during the six working days, because of the multitude of business, then we may know for sure that such a person has begun to “Forget” God.

Exodus 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
