Does money tell you what to do? Does it boss you around and dictate how you’re going to live your life? Do you put your confidence in it? Do you feel peace only if there’s enough cash in the bank or if your investments are doing well? In scripture, Paul invites us (commands us, even!) not to put our hope in wealth, which is fleeting and uncertain. But rather, we can put our hope in God, who richly provides us with everything. Bring heaven on earth by living a life of serving, and loving, and excelling in the grace of giving.
