Thursday, December 18 The one trusting in his riches—he himself will fall.—Prov. 11:28. When we put first “the kingdom and his righteousness,” Jehovah blesses our balanced efforts to obtain life’s necessities. (Matt. 6:33; Eph. 4:28) He does not want us to be falling asleep during meetings because of overwork or to be sitting in the Kingdom Hall worrying about money. Yet, many in the world around us believe that only by devoting themselves to making money can they have a secure future and take it easy later in life. They often push their children toward the same materialistic goal. Jesus showed that such thinking is unreasonable. (Luke 12:15-21) This may remind us of Gehazi, who thought he could indulge his greed while still maintaining his good standing with Jehovah. (2 Ki. 5:20-27) Resting our hope on our savings, investments, or ability to earn money in this system amounts to resting our hope on “the god of this system,” Satan.—2 Cor. 4:4; 1 Tim. 6:17. w13 1/15 3:13, 15
