Good Morning! Proverbs Day 18: Prov 18:11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it an unscalable wall. Now today I'm going to talk about one of the biggest things that gets in the way of my Relationship with God and that is MONEY! All through my life I have had a problem with thinking that if I had alot of it, my life would be so much easier and I would be much happier. And lets face it the easier part is true. But I'm not so sure about the happier part. For I am seeing today that the more money people have today the more that money takes a priority in their lives. I am seeing today, especially in this economy where people are measuring how much money they have, to how secure and happy they are. In 1Tim 6:10 It tells us For the love of money is the root of all evil. And I am finding this to be so true. Not only in my own life, but in the life of others to. In Matt 6:24 Jesus tells us, You cannot serve both God and money. And for me I see that in my own life I have been pursing money more than God these days. And it has got me in a bind that only God and some discipline on my part will get me out of. The point I am trying to make today is I think alot of people think the more money they have, the more stable their lives are. When in reality they are putting all their life efforts into making more money. And when we are pursing money we cannot be giving God all of our attention. So today I ask you who is the top priority in your life today? God or Money? Cause we cannot serve both. So I'm asking you for your prayers today that the Holy Spirit helps me and anyone else who needs this prayer to see that it isn't money that makes Happiness in life, but a True Relationship with God. Because He is our only true fortress in life. Money can help pay the bills, but it cannot satisfy the Heart. Only God and His Son Jesus can do that. So which one are you pursuing today? HABD!
