Wealth and Health (Psa. 39:4-11)

Read Psalm 39:4-11.

• When your money dwindles, you pay attention.  No one hates money.  You don't have to be in love with it and have it dominate your life, but you don't hate it.  I haven't met one person who would turn down just a little bit more.
• When your money seems to be disappearing and you don't know why, it is wise to consider if it is God's discipline.  Have you been tithing?  Have you been a poor steward of the other 90%?  Have you been living obediently?  Is there an area in your life you haven't submitted to Jesus?
• The greatest wealth is your health and life.  It won't last forever, but why should it dwindle prematurely?  This is not to suggest that every person who struggles with a health issue does so because of sin.  Part of the curse is sickness.  We can't, however, automatically rule out that it could be God's doing.  God knows that if He needs to get someone's attention, the two things to touch are wealth and health.
