Wealth has side effects. One of the side effects of wealth is that it can make you live in denial. Another side effect that comes with wealth and plagues rich people is discontentment. 1 Timothy 6:17 "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain..." As our wealth or our lifestyle increases, our hope naturally begins to migrate. "The wealth of the rich is their fortified city, they imagine it to be an unscalable wall." Proverbs 18:11 If you allow your hope to shift towards wealth, you will be compelled to horde. v.17 "but to put their hope in God who richly provides everything for our enjoyment."
