Isn’t it ironic that seeking riches, honor and other forms of ego gratification to achieve happiness becomes an insurmountable barrier to the source of true joy and instead becomes the source of our sorrows? If we accepted that up front the devil could not use it to block our spiritual path. That is why the Bible says, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God”.

SILVER
Next comes the silver. This stands for greed of money or money’s worth, for material objects that can be bought, and even for riches themselves. Or it may be that the offender is not interested in riches themselves but in their ability to give him a position of honor in the eyes of the world. He wants to be considered important and to have adulation or applause. Often he wants to be a “leader,” not because he has a message to give but to be important. He is the victim of egotism. Now this is a base and ignoble sin; an insurmountable barrier across the spiritual path.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows (1 Timothy 6:10).
