Job 27:13-20
13 "This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty:
14 If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword, and his descendants have not enough bread.
15 Those who survive him the pestilence buries, and his widows do not weep.
16 Though he heap up silver like dust, and pile up clothing like clay,
17 he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it, and the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He builds his house like a moth's, like a booth that a watchman makes.
19 He goes to bed rich, but will do so no more; he opens his eyes, and his wealth is gone.
20 Terrors overtake him like a flood; in the night a whirlwind carries him off.
Everything man has comes from the Lord. You may think that your gain is only through your toil which is in part true. You were meant to work as part of the curse brought by Adam's sin, the sin that is in all mankind. But the fact remains, if you have been blessed, in abundance with material things, God meant for you to share. When was the last time you shared your God-given wealth? Do you share food with the guy standing on the side of the road? Small things make for a big change!! Open your heart to the voice of the Lord! Be careful that your trust is in God alone!
Matthew 6:20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Romans 10:11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
