DAILY READINGS: 2 Chronicles 3:1-4:22; Ezekiel 28:1-26; John 10:19-42

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:24

A relative told me some time ago that he would never have as much money as he wanted. How sad. Wealth is much more than money or possessions. It’s a smile from a small child, a rose that blooms in the spring. It’s a cardinal as it sings high in a tree, the fragrance of freshly baked bread. God has given us so many simple pleasures to enrich our lives here. To enjoy them to the fullest one needs to know the Giver— to accept the love Jesus Christ has for mankind and to believe that He willingly gave His life for each of us. —Debbie Douglas

I’d rather have Jesus, than silver or gold,
I’d rather be His, than have riches untold. —George Beverly Shea & Rhea Miller
