While wealth isn't really in our financial vocabulary :), I still often fail to trust in Him first and Him alone. Today I shared with my readers the passage in Matthew 6 about the birds and the flowers of the field - how our Father cares for them. How if He so meticulously cares for them, how much more would He care for us, His beloved children. I have to keep coming back to that truth! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4027870719667125440.post-84939390445360519502013-06-24T10:54:48.024-04:002013-06-24T10:54:48.024-04:00Years ago, I used to lead a study on the book, &qu...Years ago, I used to lead a study on the book, "Love is a Choice" and that's where I first discovered the idea that money is considered a symbol of security. And it manifests in so many subtle ways--much like what you've pointed out here, Martin. Thanks so much for reminding us of the dangers of letting our pursuit of wealth replace our pursuit of God. Thanks to you, Lori, for letting Martin share here. I'll have to check out his book. It sounds like a great one!

A Christian friend and I were talking today about the danger of putting "trust" in money over trust in God. Relevant and timely topic always.
