I'm following a brief train of thought instead of writing about the Fruit of the Spirit today, I hope you don't mind. These thoughts came to me today during our Christmas caroling chapel this morning:
Christians frequently count their monetary gain as blessing from the Lord. Up to today, so have I. Of course, money is a great blessing that we can hardly survive without. Oddly enough, though, I wonder if the devil doesn't also use his forces to provide monetarily to Christians. That crafty viper plants green seeds of greed. When we see these "blessing," often we think we have the right to hoard the money that God gave to us, right?
If, however, I were to truly live by the philosophy that it all belongs to God, I'm sure he would put my money to better use. What if he wanted to use it in other ways? I think many Christians are scared to trust God with their money. It's one thing that God can trust us with, right?
Today, I've been thinking about what life would look like with a little less greed.
Desire freedom from greed this holiday season.
