When Kathy and I married, we held our reception in a facility owned by a wealthy man. Before the reception, I found a man in overalls setting up the tables and chairs alone.
Assuming he was hired help, I asked why no one was assisting him. He barked, “That would cost me money.” He was the owner.
Despite his wealth, he was notorious for refusing to hire help or repair deteriorating buildings. He eventually died wealthy but left behind a poor reputation.
James 5:3 warns, “Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. (NIV)
Wealth is a gift to steward, not a treasure to clutch. Our trust rests in God, not money.
