Money betrays by making erroneous promises and having dual loyalties. It seductively draws in a once-godly ambition and transforms it into a plan to make money at whatever cost. There used to be clear separation between job and home, but it dwindled due to circumstantial evidence and was eventually disregarded when there was more money to be made. Paradoxically, someone may devote their entire life to collecting wealth, only to lose their health and deplete their financial resources by having to pay for their upkeep. Judas deceived a friend in order to get money. Be wary of people who are obsessed with appearing wealthy.
How can we tell whether we've been duped by money? How can we tell whether we are being duped for gain? Money has deceived us if our lifestyle has outgrown our small resources and chained our home. Money has deceived us if we become more preoccupied with material possessions and status symbols. Furthermore, if our employer or supervisor owns us, we can already be being used for financial gain. A warning indicator to slow down, halt, and critically assess is when there is no room left for relationships, health, hobbies, emotions, family, or spirituality. The theft committed via money.
Money is our commitment to Jesus Christ's greatest rival. Some people go so far as to spiritualize their desire to become wealthy by promising that when they have amassed sufficient wealth, they will one day have a kind heart. But the capacity to give, not the amount given, determines generosity. This is why God values a widow's mite considerably more than a wealthy someone who openly tips the Lord only for attention. Yeah, generously embracing the now is the cure for money's treachery.
Through God's grace, we let go of the sinful desire to gain wealth and replace it with a commitment to Jesus and kindness toward others. As a result of knowing that we will eventually let people down, we can rest in who we are in Christ and avoid being emotionally thrown from one extreme to the other. Our main source of dread is the Lord, not what other people think, say, or do to us. In actuality, not many people really care about us. Thus, we put all else aside and live for Him. We reject money's deception and place our trust in God and His integrity instead...... Happy new month.
