Do What the Dollar Tells Us....

God said you cannot serve both Him and money. Early in life we must choose which to serve, and most choose a lot earlier than they think. I have come to the realization that money is necessary to live in civilized areas, but it’s not to replace the security we have in God. Money tends to give us a false security in life. I mean having money gives us the belief that we can do whatever we want as long as it affords us to. I’ve heard it said, “Having means ($) gives us the ability to say “NO” to God.” It’s one of Satan’s biggest lies, yet we fall for it every time. Wealth, just like health, can vanish in the blink of an eye. Then what you are left with is disappointment, regret, broken relationships, stress, and most of the time, with less than before you began. We need to have the right perspective on money. We need to do what the dollar actually says, instead of what we think it tries to tell us; allowing it to control our selfish tendencies. “In God We Trust”, not “In me I trust”. You can’t serve both. Choose Whom you will serve, and do it whole-heartedly, never looking back with regret. Don’t waste your life pursuing the dollar, or one day, you will wake up to find out the pursuit of riches cost you more than money could ever buy.

4 Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit.5 In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wingsand fly away like an eagle. Proverbs 23:4-5
