"Happy are the rich
who are without blame
and who don’t follow after gold.
9 Who are they,
so that we might praise them?
They have done wonders
among the people.
10 Who has been tested by wealth
and been found perfect?
For them it will be a reason to boast.
Who had the power to sin and didn’t,
and could do evil but didn’t?
11 The possessions of such people
will be secure,
and the congregation will tell
of their acts of charity."- Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 31:8-11

The verses that stands out is "Who had the power to sin and didn’t,
and could do evil but didn’t?" can we do this in our life? There is temptations and chances that our mind slips off to small things that make us sin. Let us be vigilant in all times and ask Gods wisdom to fill us in our mind and thoughts so that we stay in connection with our Father always and He will give us power to win over such situations, transforming us each day to a pure creation ,Gods Dear ones.
