TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE ? !!!MONEY!!!!

PROVERBS 30:7-9

7“ Two things I ask of you, LORD; do not refuse me before I die:

8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.

9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the LORD?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

30: 7-9   Having too much money can be dangerous, but so can having too little. Being poor can, in fact, be hazardous to spiritual as well as physical health. On the other hand, being rich is not the answer. Both rich and poor people can be preoccupied with money. As Jesus pointed out, rich people have trouble getting into God’s kingdom (Matthew 19: 23-24). Like Paul, we can learn how to live whether we have little or plenty (Philippians 4: 12), but our lives are more likely to be effective if we have “neither poverty nor riches.”

This is another one I have experienced!too, much!! When I had too much money I became very arrogant,selfish,pridefull,very much not compassionate for others. I was always trying to influence others by what I had, whether it was helping them with ulterior motives in mind, or just trying to show off! neither way was done in a GODLY manor. It was always about me!! Today compared to then i am broke!! But today I have found a way of peace, and try to always help others if they need it , sometimes even myself doing without. So in the opposite situaztion we either tend to things not in a GODLY MANOR!!

ON THE WAY HOME WALK WITH JESUS and makke sure your finances are being used to glorify GOD, not yourself!!!
