I find it kind of difficult to understand the concept of money. I was told that money is the root of all evil, 1 Timothy 6:10. However, our worlds economy is based on money. To live comfortably, a person must have money to provide for themselves and their family. Food, clothing, cars, a roof over your head, all comes with a price. Most of my stress is from not having enough money to go out and have an ice cream cone. I figure I'm only 20 so it's understandable that I don't have money but does everyone start off broke? Why can't money just grow on trees?
Wouldn't that be a site to see.
"Hey mom I'm going to the store to get a soda."
"Ok, but only take two leaves. We haven't watered the tree in a couple days and the leafs are starting to turn brown."
Everything comes with a dollar sign in front of it. Without money living would be uncomfortable. Seriously, what do most people live on earth for? To get a good education, to get a good job, to get the big bucks to get that red car that sparkles in the sunlight.
Life isn't all about money but if you really think about it, it is. You can't have a ministry without money. You can't start a church without money. You can't feed the poor without money. You can't farm with out money. You can't go to church without a car which cost money because you need gas. You could ride a bike to church, but that bike cost money.
EVERYTHING revolves around money. It's whether or not you worship your money that defines your life.
