"But his sons did not follow his ways. They turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice." - 1 Samuel 8:3

"For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart." - Isaiah 57:17

"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world - the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life - is not from the Father but is from the world." - 1 John 2:15-16

"Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can't take anything with us when we leave it." - 1 Timothy 6:6-7

"If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion - how can God's love be in that person?" - 1 John 3:17

"The love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs." - 1 Timothy 6:10

Do not store up materialism as you cannot take it with you when you go. God will bless you with increased favor as He knows what you need. Do not be greedy with money or material things, because you will only want more and more and you won't be happy. Be grateful for what God has given you and give thanks for the things you do have. Thank you and God Bless!
