Proverbs 11:28 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage." (Proverbs 11:28 NKJV)

It's a pop-up alert not to put our trust in the material things of the world. They are temporal, fleeting and unreliable. They come and go at the wrong timing. They are not around when direly needed.

Rather, we put our trust in The Lord who is the source of everything, as the righteous does. That is by accepting the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the One and only begotten Son of the Father, by faith in Him. In His grace, we are to trust in the giver, not the gift. His provisions of grace do not run out. He provides us richly with material things as tools to be a blessing, useful for investment in the physical for spiritual returns. 

Apostle Paul gave these words for us to reflect on: "As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good things under grace, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life. (1Timothy 6:17-19 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
