KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:
Money is nothing more than an instrument to be used to bring glory to God in your life. Use whatever you have, whether a lot or a little. Show others what you think of money, whether you have a lot or a little of it. Either way, it shouldn’t matter.
To love money is to put oneself on a hamster wheel. The only outcome of running even harder is more exhaustion – satisfaction is fleeting.
Contentment is divorced from earthly wealth.
You cannot WILL yourself to victory.
Wisdom is a fierce protector!
“vile” – from phaulos – means evil, worthless, bad, base
A person who cannot control their tongue lacks wisdom.
The sign of wisdom is a gentle and humble spirit. The concept of meekness to the Greeks of this time is best described as “power under control”.
Wisdom says, “When you are weak, then you are strong.”
A wise person discerns when/how to make the most of their time, and with whom.
