I Want Just A Little More

NOVEMBER 2, 2026
Daily Reading—Jeremiah 23-25 / 2 Timothy 3-4

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

1 Timothy 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

    How easy it is for us to want just a little bit more than what we have. Not desiring a lot, just a little more. Then, if God is gracious enough to grant us that little bit more, we begin to want just a bit more than that. We do not think of ourselves as wanting to be rich, yet our desire for things seems to rule our hearts and lives.

 

    This is what God warned us of here in Timothy. Why? Because the constant desire for more will cause us to miss church, abandon fellowship, and even worse, miss our private time with God in His Word and prayer. For what? So, we might be able to work more hours to have just a little more. Wealth is not a sin. It is sinful, however, to chase it and abandon God.  

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

What do you want from God today, wealth or wisdom?
