Kind of ironic writing about money in a tough economy...trust me, I work straight commission in sales and am feeling it right now too. BUT, money really isn't the answer. I was reminded of this again tonight, when I received a phone call about someone from my hometown dying. This man was a self-made millionaire, along with his brothers. He was a good friend to my father over the years...and in fact, the first airplane I ever flew on as a child was this man's private plane.
My point...it doesn't matter how much or little money we have in the bank...we are going to die sometime. This isn't meant to be depressing or to sound morbid...my point...this life is short. Our life here on Earth is temporary.
Therefore, our MAIN objective here on Earth is to glorify God. God knew this (obviously) when he wrote the Bible...he constantly talked of money and warned for us humans not to store up riches on Earth where they can and will decay, but to store up our treasures in heaven. So, regardless of your financial situation...I ask you to self reflect. Realize that ALL of the money you have or are worth, is God's money. He gave each of us the ability to make money...and I truly feel that it belongs to him. After all, we won't be able to take it with us. So, yes we are okay enjoying the money that we earn...but let's also be smart with it. Don't squander it away...and I challenge you...find a way to glorify God with it!
