For the love of money is the root of all evil.

1 Timothy 6:10 NLT Bible

Money is essential for all of us. We need it to take care of our food, shelter, clothes and all the incidental things that are part of living well. The danger, however, is when we begin to love money so much that it consumes our thought life, and we go to great lengths to get more and more. When people begin to crave money, it never stops, and they become dissatisfied with what they've been blessed with. These people believe that money will bring them happiness, but sadly, they are mistaken and in their quest for more, wind up emotionally and physically sick. In addition to that, their spiritual life suffers, because all their time is spent focusing on becoming richer and God takes a back seat in their lives.

God wants us to have nice things, to live comfortable lives and be able to take care of our families, but if He has blessed us financially, then we are to bless others in return. We cannot hoard what God has given to us. At any given time, there are so many families all around us, in need of food, clothing and shelter. Instead of thinking about how we can get more money for ourselves, we need to use what we have, as well as the extra we’ve been blessed with to meet the needs of those who are destitute. There's no greater joy than using what we've been given to bless others.

Thank you, Lord for Your many blessings! I pray that I will never crave money so much that I will go to extreme lengths to get more and more. Lord, let me use what You've given me to bless the people around me. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
