Do you consider all that you possess- Do you ponder over its security- Do you dwell on it- Do you sometimes have sleepless nights that someone will take it from you- Do you worry over it- As we look at possessions and the obtaining them according to the word of God we cannot ignore that we should all know that the love of money is the beginning of all evil. I don't know though that you really understand what this means. Do we really see how money leading to possessions, wanting, and desires can take a Godly person and lead them into an land of fleshly desires far more troublesome even than just having more and desiring more material possessions. But I want you to see how Gods word warns of moneys dangers it does not condemn money in its self as money can be a gift from God, but again as we can see the love therefore of it exposes you to all sorts of evil thoughts and lust. As you listen to the word today take note that it is the wanton desire of man who craves what money can buy that allows pride and covetousness to take control. With all of this which feeds the man's ego can drag a man who might otherwise be rich in faith into a deep dark pit, into places where he does not belong, far away from where he Should be too a place even he inside knows he should not be.
