Psalm 52, Trusting in riches

Psa 52:2-4, Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue.

I know people who delight in gossip, and do not care if it causes pain! They love spreading rumors and lies and they believe no one hears!

Pro 12:22, LYING LIPS ARE AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD, But those who deal truthfully are His delight. 

Psa 59:7, Indeed, they belch with their mouth; Swords are in their lips; FOR THEY SAY, “WHO HEARS?” 

Mat 12:36, But I (JESUS) say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 

Psa 52:7, “HERE IS THE MAN WHO DID NOT MAKE GOD HIS STRENGTH, BUT TRUSTED IN THE ABUNDANCE OF HIS RICHES, AND STRENGTHENED HIMSELF IN HIS WICKEDNESS.” 

Money is a useful tool, but never make that your hope! Riches come and go, but the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil!

Mar 10:24-25, … But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! IT IS EASIER FOR A CAMEL TO GO THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE THAN FOR A RICH MAN TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”

Psa 52:8, BUT I AM LIKE A GREEN OLIVE TREE IN THE HOUSE OF GOD; I TRUST IN THE MERCY OF GOD FOREVER AND EVER.

David placed his hope in the living GOD! He is like a tree planted near rivers of living water; whose leaf shall not wither, but strengthen!

Psa 92:13-14, Those who are planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing,

This world offers nothing in comparison to the LORD! This world treasures gold, but gold to the LORD is the asphalt of HIS city! Don’t trust in riches, trust in the LORD!

Psalm 30, Riches and Prosperity!

Psa 30:1, I WILL EXTOL YOU, O LORD, FOR YOU HAVE LIFTED ME UP, AND HAVE NOT LET MY FOES REJOICE OVER ME. 

The title of this Psalm is “A PSALM. A SONG AT THE DEDICATION OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID.”.

Most people when they buy or build a home would say, “Look what I’ve done”, but David gives all the honor to GOD! YOU HAVE LIFTED ME UP! In contrast, Nebuchadnezzar said.

Dan 4:30, The king spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, THAT I HAVE BUILT for a royal dwelling BY MY MIGHTY POWER AND FOR THE HONOR OF MY MAJESTY?” 

After every accomplishment give GOD the glory that is due; for your intelligence and abilities was given to you by the LORD!

Psa 75:6-7, For exaltation comes neither from the east Nor from the west nor from the south. BUT GOD IS THE JUDGE: HE PUTS DOWN ONE, AND EXALTS ANOTHER.

Psa 30:6-7, NOW IN MY PROSPERITY I SAID, “I SHALL NEVER BE MOVED.” LORD, by YOUR FAVOR YOU HAVE MADE MY MOUNTAIN STAND STRONG; YOU HID YOUR FACE, AND I WAS TROUBLED.

In David’s prosperity HE SAID IN HIS HEART “I SHALL NOT BE MOVED”, YET he quickly realized that it was the LORD that gave him strength! When the LORD hid HIS presence from David, HE ONLY FOUND TROUBLE!

Pro 11:28, HE WHO TRUSTS IN HIS RICHES WILL FALL, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS WILL FLOURISH LIKE FOLIAGE. 

1Ti 6:17, COMMAND THOSE WHO ARE RICH IN THIS PRESENT AGE NOT TO BE HAUGHTY, NOR TO TRUST IN UNCERTAIN RICHES BUT IN THE LIVING GOD, WHO GIVES US RICHLY ALL THINGS TO ENJOY. 

Psa 30:12, TO THE END THAT MY GLORY MAY SING PRAISE TO YOU AND NOT BE SILENT. O LORD MY GOD, I WILL GIVE THANKS TO YOU FOREVER. 

Money is a useful tool, but never place your trust in riches; for the love of money is the root of all kinds of evils! PLACE YOUR TRUST IN THE LORD FOR HE IS ALWAYS WITH YOU!

Heb 13:5, … BE CONTENT WITH SUCH THINGS AS YOU HAVE. FOR HE HIMSELF HAS SAID, “I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.”
