The blessed life is not a matter about money, but rather a matter of the heart. And following God’s principles are not there to get something FROM you but rather to get something FOR you. Jesus says in Luke 16:13, “You cannot serve both God, and money(mammon).”Mammon is a spirit that promises us false security and significance. A substitution to God. But peace and purpose are supplied exclusively by God. In Matthew 6:22-25 Jesus teaches us that “The eye is the lamp of the body”, and where we fix our eyes is where we set our hearts. We all have to choose between serving God or serving money (mammon). And this choice is an issue of worship and of trust. Who will you choose to serve? Money in itself is not evil, but the love of money is the root of all evil. When we are willing to trust God with our treasures then we are saying with our hearts that God is at the centre of our lives and that he is our unfailing provider. Jesus cares about the hold money has on our life, because he wants our hearts full devotion and for us to live in the fullness God has for us.
