1 Timothy 6: 7 for we brought nothing into the world, and[a]we cannot take anything out of the world
Paul is concerned with the love of money. He tells us that it's the root of all evils. He later addresses the issue of the rich, saying they must use their wealth for good. He had started the chapter telling slaves how to behave.
This is still a thorny issue today. We still arrive and leave with nothing, but there is such inequity in between. I guess we need to remember the big issue, that which we have both at death and birth, our souls. We need to be sure that it is "well with my soul."
Prayer: I am saddened by the news of a friend this morning, and by the loss, through suicide, of another young man from our community. Please be with those who love him. Comfort them as they grieve the loss. Guide them to find their way to You.
Amen
