We’ve all heard that saying about money that - well you can’t take it with you. In other words, money’s temporary - not eternal.
But before I gave my life to Jesus, my response to that was - well, if I can’t take it with me, I ain’t going! Funny perhaps - but also pretty stupid. We’re all going one day - whether we want to or not.
I was listening to a man tell his story the other day of lying alone in a dark room, with radioactive isotopes pumping through his body to treat the cancer and - God really confronted him in that dark place about his sense of security.
Was he trusting in God - or had he been trusting in money? I imagine that at the point of staring death in the face like that - that money becomes pretty much irrelevant.
So - why is it that we cling on to money, strive after wealth, worry about finances? Why do we treat money as though it’s somehow a matter of life or death?
