WHAT DOES MONEY MEAN TO YOU?

February 09, 2024

“No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.  You cannot serve both God and money.”

Matthew 6: 24

An idol is anything in our lives that comes before God.

It can be a person or a thing, a job or career – but very often it’s money.

Some people become enslaved to money when their real concern is finding security. They build a big wall of protection around their lives with bank accounts and investments – in hopes of protecting themselves from all the dangers of this world.

Yet, ultimately this desperate search for security can lead to a heart of greed and stinginess.

For others, money is a way of gaining acceptance – using money and wealth to impress others.

Obsession with money can also hide a deeper desire for power and influence.

Take a look at how you view money.  Do you fall into one of these categories? Jesus knew that we would be tempted to put money before God. That’s why it’s so important to remember that all we have comes from God. We’re simply stewards, managers, of all that He’s entrusted.

So, ask yourself this question:

Do you own money or does it own you?

The easiest way to be sure that you have a healthy relationship with money is to give it away. The Bible teaches that tithing is giving 10% of what we earn to God – out of our love for Him. It demonstrates our faith and gratitude for all that we have. It puts God first.

So, let me ask this again: Do you own money or does it own you?

I assure you that your bank account will provide the answer. Where you spend your money doesn’t lie.

Where do you spend your money?
