Proverbs 13

Verse 11 presents a truth that I need to take to heart. I have been able to be generous towards the next generation in my immediate family. By my gifts my nieces and nephew are graduation from high school with a significant balance to continue their education. So far there have not been any problems but since they did not work for this money they may face the danger of treating it as something less than it worth. They may not understand the sacrifice that has been made for them.  Solomon points out that money is not to be worshipped, but neither is it to be ignored. It is a God given tool to be used for his glory and the good of others.  We will do well to remember that truth.
