Job 31:24 If I have made gold my hope, Or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence; 25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because mine hand had gotten much;
Job was quick to say that he had never let his money or his wealth be his confidence. He never bragged about all that God had given him. He used what he had for the honor and glory of God. His goal was to make much of God and His work. He never wanted anything to take the place of God in His life.
It is easy for money to become too important. I have to deal with that regularly. It is a problem when you have too much. It is a problem when you do not have enough. The point is to always know that God is the source. It all comes from Him and to Him goes all the glory!
