If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imp... -

Who is God

Then Elijah said to the people, 'I, even I only, am left as a prophet of Yahweh; but Baal's prophets are four hundred fifty men. Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under it. You call on the name of your god, and I will call on Yahweh's name. The God who answers by fire, let him be God.' All the people answered, 'What you say is good.' 1 Kings 18:22 WEB
Early in the morning, one man of God, four-hundred-fifty prophets of baal, and four-hundred prophets of asherah went up Mount Carmel to settle the age old question of 'Who is God.' It had become a 'gray area' and the people had been chasing after baal for prosperity and materialism. They also worshiped asherah as the god of sex and fertility. In those days, Israel was serving a lot of 'gods' as 'God', but that afternoon, the Almighty God answered by fire and Elijah alone walked away while the others were broken, defeated, disappointed, and dead.
Today, we are faced with the same type of choice. It is easy to say that we follow the Almighty God, but do we chase baal and asherah as diligently as they did? The Lord wants you to have money, but He does not want money to have you. The 'love of money' is a root of evil. Also, it has nothing to do with the amount of money that you have. A beggar can be consumed by the 'love' of money just as much as a billionaire. In the same sense, a man can 'lust' after a woman, and not actually have her.
Jesus is the answer, and He is the One with all the answers. Do not put the love of money, and the pursuit of happiness before your time with Him. Those things have their place, and if you seek the Lord first each day, then all these things will be added to you anyway. The less that you care about them, the more of it you that will probably have. He wants your heart and to be first in your life, just as your spouse would want to be. Once He has control of your heart, the rest of you will follow.

So true, God says the love of money is the root of all evil! I pray that my heart will not put my trust in money, but in God. God promises to meet all of my needs, I can trust Him to do that. If He blesses me behond that I thank Him for that too.
