Guard Against Greed. I have had the pleasure of sharing God’s word concerning financial stewardship for many years. I have witnessed the great good that comes from the blessings that God bestows on us all. Unfortunately, the evil that originates from the lack of good stewardship is profound. I see people divorcing because of money issues. I see dangerous depression because people have allowed themselves to be buried in debt. I have seen greed destroy relationships time and time again. Money isn’t evil, but the love of money is. It creates so many avoidable problems. God knew we were going to struggle with money. God gave us very clear instructions on how to manage money to the point it is the most discussed topic in scripture. I want to focus on Luke 12:15
Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”
We all have one thing in common. Mortality is 100% we begin to die the day we are born. Regardless of how many possessions we have at our death, we will take nothing with us to our eternal home. Why then do we focus so much on earthly possessions rather than our heavenly treasures? I am a firm believer in that Satan uses money to separate us from God. We must be vigilant and obedient in our stewardship to prevent the mishandling of God’s assets.
