Money

Today’s readings are Joshua 7:16 – 9:2, Luke 16:1-18, Psalms 82:1-8 and Proverbs 13:2-3

 Luke 16:13

¹³ “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.”

The use of our resources is a very big topic.  It can be a blessing or it can bring us trouble and pull us away from God.  Depending on weather we use it for ourselves and are selfishly using it for ower gain or if we are using it to help others and to serve.  Money is a great tool when we use it in the right way, by helping our neighbors, and caring for other’s needs.

  We can sometimes be very inward focused and have a hard time sharing with others.  Try to focus on someone elses needs today rather than your own.  Pray that God would show you someone who’s needs you can meet.  It may be a small need or possibly a large one.  If we are unwilling to help God’s people with resources given to us by God.  God will find someone who will and we will lose the blessing and our relationship with God will be hindered.  We will slowly grow apart from him.  Always be trustworthy of what God has given us.  Follow Gods plan for your finances and listen to what he wants you to do with them.
