Free From the Love of Money - Hebrews 13:5
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 Lust for Money I'm a believer who can lust for money sometimes. I can be greedy. Apparently this problem creeps in on believers because the writer of Hebrews says to, "Keep your life free from the love of money." If it wasn't an issue, He wouldn't warn us. It can sure creep up on me. And then the jealousies too. I can get mired in thinking that if I had more, I wouldn't have this character problem or that one. If only. If only. If only. The Lord gently helps me and He says, "Here's what I have given you." My correct response is to be content. To be grateful. Yet, I can be like Israel in the wilderness, discontent with miraculous manna. And thank Jesus, He works on me. Feels So Ugly I know this: I have control over my response. Otherwise, He wouldn't tell me to be content. A jealous reaction
