What place does money have in your life? Does it dictate your peace, joy and how you walk in love?
God desires that you prosper but not at the expense of His relationship
with you and the work He has for you. Money is not everything; it is
God who is all in all.
Command
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. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works,
ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good
foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life
(1 Timothy 6:17-19, NKJV).
People
do so many things for the purpose of getting money at the end. Many
people actually do the work of God for what they can get from God, most
of the time all the desires translate to desire for more money. You
should beware of love of money, which is the root of all evil, (1
Timothy 6:10). Your trust should be in God who gives you ALL THINGS TO
ENJOY. All the Lord is asking for is that you make Him number one in
your life and He will give you all things to enjoy.
Focusing
on what you can get from God denies you of the blessing of a wonderful
relationship with God. Money is not all in life. God is awesome when
you truly get to know a bit of Him. As you deepen your relationship with
the Lord, He reveals more and more of Himself to you. THERE IS MORE TO
GOD THAN YOU HAVE EVER SEEN OR HEARD and we can only know Him in part (1
Corinthians 13:9). He is magnificent and endearing! The people who have
seen Christ want to see more of Him and those who have seen a glimpse
of heaven want to quickly go there.
