The NIV 365-Day Devotional Reading PlanПримерок

Contentment

Money — we spend so much time pursuing it, managing it and thinking about it. How much should you save, invest and tithe? If you’re married, how much should go toward your shopping versus your husband’s golf game? Who should pay the bills? Stress over money can make a person feel torn or drive a couple apart.

But in the end, money has no real, eternal value. It’s ultimately worthless. It cannot save you or satisfy you, and it can distract from what’s really important. So the next time a conflict over money erupts in your heart or house, ask yourself: is it really worth this worry?

Reflect & Pray:

*Is it ever okay for a Christian to desire wealth?

*What other temptations often go hand in hand with greed?

*What are practical ways for you to avoid the love of money?
