Money, it’s necessary to live, but our attitude towards it determines the quality of our lives, not the possession of it. The real issue is not how much you own, rather it’s how much of it owns your thoughts and desires. When your mind is consumed by gaining wealth, you lose out on living in the present. When you are consumed with getting rich, you literally rob yourself of life. God will provide for our needs, so there’s no real need to get rich. God gives us a present every day, so when we waste it being consumed with trying to gain wealth, we miss out on this gift. The day before today is called yesterday. The day after today is called tomorrow. Today is called the present. Get it? Live in the now by trusting God with your life, for He will provide. Don’t waste your life pursuing something that robs you of life. The true wealth of life is knowing and living out this principle.
19 Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.
