Word of the day : True Riches

Proverbs 13:7 “There is a man that try to maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing; and there is a man that maketh himself like he was poor yet hath great riches.” What do you consider riches? That's the question every person has to answer for themselves. Would you lose your spouse and children for the sake of your bank balance, or would you give every penny to keep them with you? If paying your tithe means not paying off your credit card bill, which do you choose? Or if u want some new shoes or you had a choice to seed money to help out someone in need of food, shelter, or medical care, What would u do? Which do you choose? If hiring a tutor to get your child through math or reading means no vacation, what is your decision going be? Do pleasure come first in your choices or sacrificing your wants for someone else needs? Decisions like these hammer at us unmercifully, day after day. The big ones are pretty easy to figure out, but some of the little ones are tricky. If you are not grounded in life and living for the world and what “THEY SAY”, such as, Dining out instead of eating rice, beans, hot dogs or noodles tonight; keep spending $10 and $20 dollars a day when you know you need to save or pay a bill this week instead of taking a lunch to work. To play BIG, you make poor choices which leaves me saying wow then we blame GOD for not providing.  He did provide but we were not a good and faithful steward over our money.  Ask God for wisdom in this area. Get a new car, or get you and your kids teeth fixed? Get life insurance or go buy some Jordan’s? (I want to be like mike ,ya right.)  Think men and women of GOD!  Get your mind right. (THE CHOICE IS YOURS.) “What profit a man to gain the world but lose his soul?” Proverbs 11:4 Riches profit not in the way of wrath but righteousness delivereth you from death.
Father, every decision we make is important. Help us decide where our true riches are and set priorities in accordance with your will. Think on this pray about everything and think before you spend!
Love you all in JESUS! He is all that! My everything!
