Money Is Your Servant

“For it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle’s eye than [for] a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
When you gain wealth unjustly, it is condemned by the Lord. James 5:4 “For listen! Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay. Their cries have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.” God wants us to be people of integrity. Psalm 62:10 “Don't become rich by extortion and robbery; if your riches increase, don't be proud.”
The love of wealth is a wrong attitude. Luke 12:15 “Beware! Don't always be wishing for what you don't have. For real life and real living are not related to how rich we are.” When we love wealth and accumulate it, rather than putting it where it belongs (in serving our fellow neighbors), we can easily ruin our spiritual lives and destroy our health and family.
“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.”
We should never let our possessions dominate our lives, but rather seek to find contentment in families, friends and in our faith in the Lord. Money should be our servant in every aspect. Let’s reach out and bless other Christians with the blessings that the Lord has put under our care.
