Popping up

You see or hear some terrible news of someone acting in an ungodly way. You are shocked but in time you step back and ponder. I ponder so much that it hurts my head sometimes. As one ponders and takes the entire picture into perspective a hidden motive may become more obvious. Under the evil popping up out of the ground, one will find the love of money.


The love of money is behind all evil... I didn't write that; this is Scripture. "ALL EVIL"?, my pondering mind says. Yes, all evil.

Here are just a few examples of loving money...

-a mother sees her friend's nice things; yet she struggles, she is tempted to leave her marriage and seek after a wealthy new guy...
-a father is tired of being so financially strapped that he is tempted to just "chuck" the marriage and fatherhood.
-A single man marries the wrong lady. He marries another because she has connections and money.
-A single woman does not marry for love but for advantage.
-A preacher fails to preach biblical truth since truth may offend his parishioners ie:support base.
-People can step on others in their effort to climb the ladder of success.
-A skilled physican goes into the field of medicine that TAKES life since there is guaranteed income.
-A person takes a job where the focus of the company is inherently destructive to individuals and families.
-People are tempted to dress immodestly to attract another for personal advantage.




When a believer gets the money section in order, he/she is so much stronger. I know some people that are blessed abundantly and their children are blessed as well JUST because they have the MONEY question settled.

This is not a blog about tithing....but honestly, giving God our first fruits is so fundamental, yet people nit-pick about it. If the patriarchs got it...and the New Testament church gave even more than their firstfuits or tenth, why do we question the power and truth of the tithe?

It reminds me of speaking with tongues. It makes no sense, yet it is a God thing. When we surrender all of ourselves to God, we begin to worship him and it's no time that we lose ourself in the Spirit of God and a beautiful utterance comes out of our mouth.

Advice from a friend; don't mess with money. Trust God, give him the first fruits, and don't covet. Just tell the Lord when you need or want something. He will provide. He's the best daddy you could ever dream of. "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."Luke 12:32

Next time you see evil popping out of the ground...look at the roots,you will find the love of money. Put God back in charge and trust HIM for all of your needs.
