Watch Out!

Then He (Jesus) said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

Victory...

Where there is no guidance the people fall,
But in abundance of counselors there is victory.
~ Proverbs 11:14 (NASB)

God's Provision

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. 12 I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. 13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. ~ Philippians 4:10-13 (NASB) 

This too is Vanity

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity. ~ Ecclesiastes 5:10 (NASB)

What Are You Full Of?

For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. (ESV)

For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. (NIV)

Matthew 12:34b 

Giving

42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.” ~ Mark 12:42-44 (ESV)

Out of the Abundance of the Heart

The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. ~ Luke 6:45 (ESV)

My Prayer is...

But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness. ~ Psalm 69:13 (ESV)

Content in All Situations

10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. ~ Philippians 4:10-12 (ESV)

Refined Like Silver

For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver. 11 You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. 12 You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance. ~ Psalm 66:10-12 (NIV 1984)
