Hebrews 13:5 NASB "Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you,”"I came away realizing that money had become my god! Working three jobs, meant time away from family, time away from the hobbies that I used to love to do, time not spent with God or my church community. I was living for the wrong reason! Today's Word shares about making sure our character is free from the love of money and being content for when we know we have God, we will never be deserted or abandoned! Many times our priorities get all messed up, we keep chasing after things that aren't as important as other things. Time spent in God's Word, time spent with family, time spent with the guys from our men's groups can all be lost if we make it about money and trying to get more of it. Only when my world came crashing down did I realize what I was missing as I chased the "almighty dollar" verses chasing the "Almighty" Himself! The question is, what are we chasing in our life, God or something we think can replace Him in our lives?! peace, tom
