Love of Money

The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. 1 Timothy 6:10

                    Money can make slaves of people. The love of money is the root of all kinds of evils.  When money becomes idol in our life, we cannot seek godly things. Judas’ love of money caused him to despise Jesus. For Ananias and Saphira, the love of money made them to tell lies before God. The love of money will cause people to commit all sorts of sins.          

                    Set your mind on things above and not on things on earth - Colossians 3:2. When we start to set our minds on heavenly things above, we will not focus on earthly things.  We cannot serve both God and money. No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Mathew 6:24.

                      The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein - Psalm 24:1. In sixteen out of thirty-eight parables in Bible, Jesus had talked about how to handle possessions and money.  All the treasures of this world will perish and only the heavenly treasure will not be exhausted. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also - Mathew 6:21.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Keep our life free from love of money and let us be content with what we have. Help us to set our minds on things above. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
