Day 2 of 7 · Financial Wisdom

No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

CONTEXT

Original word: κυρίοις (kýrios) · supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication, Master (as a respectful title)

REFLECTION

Contentment is learned. Matthew 6:24 shows where it comes from.

PRAYER

God, free me from worry about money and make me generous. Amen.

QUESTION

Where do you feel anxious about money?
