There are dangerous consequences
if you live for pleasure.
Read the following verses. Think
and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.
Proverbs 21:17
He who loves pleasure will become poor.
Galatians 6:7
If a man sows to please his own wrong desires, he will be planting seeds
of evil and he will surely reap a harvest of spiritual decay and death.
Ecclesiastes 2:10-11
I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no
pleasure…Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had
toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless.
Ecclesiastes 7:4
A fool thinks only of having a good time now.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of
themselves, lovers of money, …lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of
God--having a form of godliness but denying its power.
1 Timothy 5:6
The widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.
Proverbs 23:20-21
Don’t carouse with drunkards and gluttons, for they are on their way to
poverty. And remember that too much sleep clothes a man with rags.
Luke 15:13
The younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country
and there squandered his wealth in wild living.
Your use of money shows what you think
of God.

God’s Provisions Of A House And Food
When I
was in my 20s, I moved to another city to take a new job. After I was
told my salary, I sat down and wrote up a budget. First, I decided I
would give 10% of my gross income to the LORD. I then discovered I could
only afford $100 a month for rent and $55 a month for groceries. That
wasn’t much money, but I prayed and asked God to lead me. That same day,
someone invited me to their house for dinner. It was a large home where
6 single Christian guys lived. After dinner, they invited me to move in
with them. I told them I couldn’t afford it. They then told me the rent
was $100 a month and the shared grocery bill was $55 a month. I was
blown away. I had decided to honor the LORD with 10% of my new salary
and then God gave me a great place to live for exactly what I could
afford. You, too, can learn to honor God and see Him provide.
