Having money has the potential of blinding eyes to spiritual matters. Why is this so? Because having “means” makes us think we can so “NO” to God. If we have plenty of it, we think we can do anything. This false security slowly allows callouses to grow over our eyes, because God pulls away from those who refuse His presence. True Wisdom only comes from God, so without Him, the deception that money brings, only allows wisdom’s counterfeit brother to be attainable, pseudo-wisdom; a.k.a. Arrogance. Take a survey for yourself. What is the percentage of wealthy people you know who revere God, versus the number whom God is not even an after-thought?
11 Rich people may think they are wise, but a poor person with discernment can see right through them.
