Loving Money.

1 Timothy 6:9-10
9 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

The idea today is not to say that money is bad. However, the way you use it can be bad. If you love money, pride and greed, in particular, can get in the way tempting you into chaotic situations.

I don't know what it is, but as humans, we always want more. That's certainly no different in the case of money. We love it! When we haves some money, we can get an overwhelming feeling that makes us unable to appreciate everything else we have. We take everything for granted. We miss many opportunities to serve those in need. Many times, when we continue to want more, we may win, but someone else may lose. This does not follow Jesus' command to love your neighbor as yourself.

The biggest problem with greed is putting your life into money instead of God. A greedy person, like those consumed with anything else in life, will only go to God when they're on their knees. Additionally, don't get too comfortable with your finances. Remember, to remain faithful in God for he's the ultimate provider of everything you have, anyway.

Where are your priorities when it comes to money? Do you need to set a limit on yourself for a while?
