Just Enough

How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver! (Proverbs 16:16)

Peter did not have it. (Acts 3:6) Yet what He did have could cause the lame to walk. Paul would share with Timothy that the lust for riches could cause people to forget about their faith.(1 Timothy 6:10)Money, gold, stocks, real estate . . . all good things in and of themselves, but when they rule and over-rule one's life, it becomes a god!

True wisdom, which comes from first knowing God, (Proverbs 9:10)can overcome any obstacle in life. Knowing God personally not only brings understanding, but also perserverence to stay in the race but power to help others prevail as well.

We may not be able to heal the sick or cause the lame to walk (though prayer can still work miracles), but with God's wisdom and understanding, we can help others to walk through a painful circumstance and be healed of unhealthy activity. Many times wealth and riches bring more headaches than we can imagine! Sometimes . . . I would venture to say many times, it is much easier to have just enough than way too much in life!
