DRIFTING AWAY!
1 Timothy 6:10 – Devotional
1 Timothy 6:10
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, which has caused some to stray from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.“
Many years ago my dad and I were fishing on a small lake in Idaho. We had been contentedly trolling along in his boat when we heard a sputter … and then silence. We suddenly found ourselves adrift in the middle of the lake and not a soul in sight. We drifted for more than an hour before we hailed a passing boat whose owner graciously offered to tow us to shore.
I have often heard people mention that the Bible teaches that money is the root of all evil. That is not what it says. It says that the LOVE of money is the root of all kinds of evil. The sins of the eyes, the sins of the flesh, and the pride of life are pretty inclusive. Getting our eyes off the Savior and on the flash and glitter of worldly things is usually gradual, but lethal.
I pray that each of us will make sure that we do not find ourselves drifting away from the things of eternal importance. The things of this world will only satisfy for a season, but the things of God have eternal value. Don’t drift away!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
