Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil. Proverbs 15:16
It’s interesting that you never hear the wealthy televangelists quote this Scripture. Hmm. Wonder why not? Simple. It goes against what they teach about Health and Wealth.
But let’s be clear about what this is saying and what it is not saying. It’s not saying that wealth is evil or that it corrupts. It’s merely pointing out that you may have problems when you you have great wealth.
It’s a principle that gets lost in our world full of ‘gimme this, gimme that.’ Being content with what you have is perhaps something that isn’t taught enough.
