The Bible tells us a lot about money. How it can corrupt men. How it has corrupted men. It’s all about how we view money that matters; where it is placed in our value system. Many people substitute it for God. We think if we have enough (which is impossible) we become invincible. Sure money allows us to do more things, but it can’t save us in the end. If I were to tell you to do exactly what the American dollar tells us to do, what would you say? Spend it? Buy up all that you want? Use it for pleasure? Help the needy? Give to your church? Save it? What if I told you that if you did exactly what the American dollar tells us to do, we would be all right. Do you know what it tells us to do? TRUST IN GOD. If our founding fathers knew enough to include this on our currency, we should probably listen, right? It’s what the Bible tells us too, correct? Yet how many people daily read their Bible? If only people did what the American dollar tells us to do, probably 75% or more of all the mental disorders wouldn’t be a problem in this country. If only people treated God like they do their money. Trusting God takes faith. Trusting in yourself takes greater faith; and this type of faith (in ourselves) isn’t a suitable container. Do what the dollar tells us. You won’t regret it.
28 Trust in your money and down you go!But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.
Proverbs 11:28
