God not Served for Temporal Profit
Luke 4:3
And the devil said to him, If you be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.


If every good Christian were satisfied at all times with temporal blessings, we should appear to serve God for our own profit, that we might lack nothing which concerned this transitory life.

(Bishop Hacker.)
