Money Changes Everything
No matter if it’s currency, swapping goods or pulling minerals from the earth when it comes to wealth (real or imagined) even the closest of family or friends having too little or having much is never enough.
Armies are gathered, wars are won or lost and people die over this thing called money.
As I travel around the globe those who are the happiest are the ones without a care in the world. Kids laugh, cry and play without giving thought to having a sizable bank account or one at all.
In fact having a friend or sibling to play with and face the day is more than enough.
Keeping up with societal norms and announcing that you have arrived is by having more bling bling, flashy toys and more stuff.
Soon all that stuff becomes more important than family, friendships and even replaces God. Life becomes meaningless, death becomes jaded and we wonder “what is the meaning of life”?
Yet the Bible tells us it is the love of money that is the root of all evil.
We are instructed to love God and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
We must ask ourselves the really tough question – do we love ourself? Do we look in the mirror or seek the opinion of others to see if we measure up?
Or have we stored up treasure and worry about that thief in the night?
Jesus told the rich man to sell all he had and give it to the poor, pick up his cross and follow me.
Are we better than the rich man?
The world’s banking system is geared as a pyramid to filter ALL wealth to the top so that everyone is brought to a level playing field, while the one(s) at the top accumulate all the wealth and gain full and total control.
Rest assured that God alone is in control and nothing takes God by surprise.
Place your full trust and confidence in HIM and lean not on your understanding and He WILL lift you up.
Just remember that the streets of Heaven are paved with pure gold. – RTM
