Wealth and the Common Man

Is it important to You that people aren’t wealthy?

People in general?  Or my children?

Both.

People in general is a no, but I care deeply that my children are prepared before they have wealth.

Solomon had wealth that you provided.  Did it turn his heart away from you?

Yes it did.  There was a time, near the latter portion of his life, where I couldn’t even get his attention.

Father, please bless us with wealth no greater than the capacity we have for loving You.

I care in general that mankind is not in poverty, and there will always be poor people.  Rich people oppress the poor often times, and I want to see none of that from you.

Got it.  I remember the mercy you showed me when you rebuked the Devourer on my behalf.  Please continue to do that for members of the church, especially for those who give.

I have given and will give again.
