The NIV 365-Day Devotional Reading Plan

Day 128 of 365 REFLECTION 1 Timothy 6:6 - 19 *The quest for wealth can kill contentment and turn people's hearts away from the Lord. True wealth is found in righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. *If God has given us much, we must be generous and willing to share with those in need. Taken from Once a Day Morning & Evening 1 Timothy 6:11-19 1 Timothy 6:11-19 KJV 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
