Getting My Spirit Right

Most of us were raised to want and desire more. Problem is, most of us weren't given instruction on how to obtain more. Because of our lack of knowledge we struggle with out of control debt, bad credit and living from paycheck to paycheck (some, no paycheck). When you begin to read God's word, you understand that money/things should not be what we work hard for. God wants us to have clean hearts, clean living and to help those in "real" need. He provides all the rest. I hear people complain all the time about their finances, seldom do I hear them take ownership of their situation. Instead they go from one extreme to another. I am guilty. How many have paid high interest rates on borrowed money? How many can't get a place/car in their name? How many have used payday loans? How many have maxed out credit cards and have nothing to show for it? How many have spent or gambled away bill money? How many have spent bill money on their "boo"? How many have expensive cars/purses/shoes/clothes/hair but don't have a dime saved up? How many have children but haven't worked for a living in years? How many have families but haven't thought about who would take care of them if something happened to you? For most of these questions, I had to raise my hand. I thank God for giving me understanding of how I should live. I no longer live for material gain, only for the spiritual. To live any other way only brings frustration/unhappiness.
