Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Paul instructs the wealthy to place their hope in God who richly provides all things for our enjoyment, not in uncertain riches.
God gives not grudgingly but richly, and not just for survival but for enjoyment. This verse reveals God's generous heart - He wants us to enjoy His gifts. However, the warning against trusting in wealth rather than the Giver keeps our hearts rightly oriented. Provision is meant to be received with gratitude and enjoyed as gifts from God's hand.
Apply This Today
Enjoy something God has provided today with conscious gratitude, acknowledging Him as the generous giver behind every good gift.
Prayer
Generous God, You richly provide all things for my enjoyment. Help me receive Your gifts with gratitude, enjoying them fully while keeping my hope in You, not in uncertain riches. Amen.
