i want to hone in a little bit on why is it so hard? We have a lot of listeners that aren't necessarily living here in america, where having is a little easier than in some countries. In general, our nation is one that the opportunity is a plenty. And so just like the bable says, money itself is not a bad thing. There are riches right that are not necessarily the currency itself, but it equates.
Chasing riches is an enemy of gratitude and a catalyst for discontentment: A lot of things can steal our contentment as dads; especially something like money that will have us staring at our bank account, obsessed with the numbers inside. Only serving money will usher destruction into our lives. However, If we trust God with our money, we'll soon discover genuine gratitude and learn how little we actually NEED. If we give (money, time, energy, expertise) out of pure generosity and desire to serve others, God's grace can flow through us and into them.
