Don't make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don't make it the center of your life. (Psalm 62:10 NLT)
No truer words can be said about what's wrong in America than these words from the Psalmist's pen. As individuals and a nation we have too often made our material gain "the center of [our lives]" and in the process turned our backs on God. Wealth can be a blessing or a curse depending on where we place our trust.
