In the King James Bible Luke 16: 12-15 it says (summed up) that you have to choose between the love of God and the love of Money. No-one can serve two masters.
If you have a love of money you will inevitably push God aside to continue making more money. In the end where does that get you. In a home here on earth that is lavish and dripping with gold and other fine trappings. Fast, fancy cars and a life style that presses you hard to make even more money to keep that lifestyle. When that lifestyle you have created finally falls apart because you cannot make enough money to maintain it where will you be and what will you do. Gone will be your fancy cars and big expensive homes and you will be left with nothing. Unless at some point in your life you see the end coming and accept Jesus into your heart and begin to follow his path. Not to make money but to truly follow his path for you.
Don't get me wrong, we all need money to live and provide for our families. However, if you choose to truly follow God instead of making a false showing to love him where everyone sees you profess to love and follow him but then in when the public eye is no longer upon you follow a different path. Then whats the use of even saying your following the path he laid out for you. It will end the same as if you love money. Disaster. If you take him into your heart with all honesty you will not believe the transformation that will take place. You will have a life that is fulfilling to say the least. Hebrews 13: 5Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee. Happiness and wealth come in many forms. The wealth of riches, money and worldly things is one way.
The way I find myself rich is, family. I have a larger than average family, all healthy and each with their own personal and physical challenges but, we all love each other, and know that a family that follows God will be richer by far than one that dose not. We may not be dripping with money, in fact quite the opposite is true. Like most people we live from paycheck to paycheck but what we have is Peace in knowing that when its time to move on to another place, God will be there to greet us. Sure like everyone else we are not perfect and will have to answer for the things we did or do that are not in accordance with his laws and he will make the choice to let us into heaven or not.
Until next time... God Speed to you all....
