“He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver; Nor he who loves abundance, with increase” (Ecclesiastes 5:10, NKJV). This verse names a pattern many people discover the hard way: loving money doesn’t get satisfied by having more of it.
The problem isn’t money itself. It’s the love of it as the thing expected to satisfy, a job it was never built to do.
Increase tends to raise the bar rather than settle the craving. Whatever amount once seemed like enough quietly stops feeling like enough once it’s reached.
Is there a number or amount you’ve quietly told yourself would finally be enough? This verse is worth testing that assumption against.
