Love of Money

June 29th, 2009 | Money & the Bible

Matthew 6:24
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other you cannot serve God and wealth.

The message couldn’t be much clearer. God or money. It is a choice each of us must make on whom to serve. Money should never be elevated to such a high position in our lives that it begins to take the place of other things. Money can be a great tool. After all, we really can’t live without it. The trouble comes when we value it more then anything else.

It is easy to become obsessed with money and finances. Those of us with little, easily fall into obsessing about acquiring wealth. Those with much, easily fall into an obsession of keeping it. Our lives should not be spent wasted on the love of material things.

Our lives are better spent focused on the Lord. Remember what it says in Deuteronomy…

…Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth.Deuteronomy 8:18
