Jack Benny replied, I know, I know. I m thinking. Most of us aren t so miserly that we would stand there thinking which we should give up, but in reality, we make choices every day that betray our love of money over life. Money can easily become our master. However, if money is our god, that leaves God out of the picture.
Money is a demanding master.
It demands that we bow down and worship it at the cost of our very souls. Earthly treasures are easily destroyed, they can deceive us, and they are demanding. However, Jesus tells us there is a better way to live. He tells us to stop worrying about all these things and trust God. For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father know that you need them.
