For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.1 Timothy 6:10Seems to me most problems in the world center around money. Power hungry leaders trying to manipulate it or families fighting due to poor money management skills. Robberies to get other peoples wealth.Even the pioneers coming out West in the 1800’s were in search of money in the form of gold strikes. Money can cause problems indeed but it is intended to bless when managed properly. A line in the classic film ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ had Jimmy Stewart’s character George Bailey in desperate need of money due to some error and he asked Clarence The Angel “you don’t happen to have $5000 do you Angel? “ The Angel replied “we don’t use money where I come from” then proceeded to tell him Heaven. Then Stewart’s character says “well it comes in pretty handy down here bubb.” Watch the movie. It will play many times during Christmas season.Point being money is good when used properly but it can cause hurt, pain, despair, even death. When God blessed you with money make sure to be faithful in using it for kingdom work. Remember it all is his anyway.PRAYER: Lord I thank you for giving me the things I need in life and when I have money and see a person in need give me a heart to share. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
