Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God Proverbs 30:8,9 [NIV]

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Matthew 6: 19-24 [NIV]
