"No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money". Matthew 6:24
Money is a necessity, an essential and integral part of life. Just like most things, money is not bad but what you do with it is what makes the difference.
We are meant to love people and use money, but unfortunately many people love money and use people. When our necessary needs leads to luxurious we are getting involved to gather it more and more.
Our strong Urge to get more money and living a better lifestyle indulge us in many evils. To have a 'presence' on the earth and to make an 'impact' money is needful. It's commonly said that "the love of money is the root of all evil", I believe this is true because the Bible says so. The "Love of money" refers to our attitude, or our motive towards wanting money.
As important as money is in this world, we are not meant to "love" it but desire it., for there are many things money cannot 'do' for us.
- Money can buy us a bed but she cannot buy us sleep.
- Money can buy us books but she cannot buy us intelligence.
- Money can buy the good Bible but she cannot buy us salvation.
- Money can attract 'friends' to us but she cannot fix loneliness.
- Money can get us a wedding but she cannot produce a real life.
- Money can buy us sex but she cannot get us true love.
- Money can get us the best tutors but she doesn't give us wisdom.
Money can be a blessing or a curse to you depending on your state of heart towards it. It's time to get our priorities right when it comes to money, It's time to love people, and use money.
Now …. Who are you serving with ?
