[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Trusting in his riches –
riches fail, he’ll fall.
Trusting in the Saviour –
flourishing through all.

Earthly wealth can’t give you
what’s most valuable.
Righteousness from Jesus –
grace immeasurable.

Righteous path now followed –
thriving usefully –
valued and attractive
like a fruitful tree.

'Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.' Proverbs 11:28

Material things can also be blessings as long as our heart is in the right place and if must be willing to leave all and follow.

We must remember always where our true treasures are, in heaven with God, things we give away prayers smiles kisses and what we bring to others, kindness comfort and happiness.

Dearly precious is obedience, as love to the Law and to God and trust in the Lord.

Study and reflection on the Scriptures both day and night. Honestly Rhiannon I wish I had your knowledge and understanding of the Bible but I know it doesn't come overnight.

All the best for a lovely week!

See you && Nolan

thank you. Quite a responsibility when people have wealth to use it wisely, generously, and not cling to it or trust in it.

The more we read the scriptures, prayerfully, and helped by faithful preaching and commentary/exposition books, the more we come to know our Father more, and are strengthened.

Every good blessing. Rhiannon
