Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Following the driven career example set by his father, Eric saw his job at the property development company as the means to build the wealth he had been taught would define his personal success. So, he was devastated when the company shut its doors, forcing him to start over. But he took advantage of the humbling experience to rebuild his life differently, recognizing the truth found in Proverbs 11:28.
“Those who trust in their riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.”
Our work produces wealth that reflects our hard work and is an opportunity to serve others. But we must always be careful not to let that wealth become an idol, or, even more seriously, define who we are.
