1. Stand in awe of God (1-7)

God is our Almighty Creator. We must come into his presence to listen to his word so that we may obey him. He keeps his promises to us; when we make a promise to him, we should keep it. Because we are selfish and tainted by pragmatism, we are sometimes tempted to forget the vows we have made to God. But we must stand in awe of God and fulfill all the vows we have made. Otherwise, God will be angry.

2. A gift of God (8-20)

Whoever loves money never has enough. Material wealth does not make a man happy, nor does it solve his life problems. We came into this world naked and empty-handed, and so we will depart. When we strive for wealth and acquire it, it becomes a burden. But when God gives us material and/or spiritual wealth, he enables us to enjoy what he gives. So we must seek first God's kingdom and his glory (Mt 6:33).

Application: Lord, teach me to seek you first and to joyfully accept and use for your glory what you give.
One Word: Don't love money; love God
