Have you seen this verse before?
1 Timothy 6:11For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness… But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.
Did you ever noticed it was followed by these verses?
1 Timothy 6: 17Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. 18 Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,
So, are we supposed to be rich or not?
We are supposed to seek God first, above possessions and people. But, we are also called to give to others. You cannot give what you do not have.
So, as we honor and obey God, we walk on the blessed path that He has predestined for us, full of abundantly more (Eph 3:20), and we give to God and others because of the overflow (Malachi 3:10) in our lives which then gives glory back to God and draws even more people closer to Him. Go live out God’s plan!
