15 - Money

'...be content with what you have...' (Hebrews 13:5)

Ah, money. Something we never seem to have enough of. It can seem like we either spend it too easily or become completely tight-fisted with it. (The latter can certainly be true of me.) 

It can lead to so many decisions! Should I buy this top? This new phone? This coat? Choices, choices!  

There are two things that could be done with our money if we were truly thankful for it. 

First, we would be thankful for what we had, no matter how big or little the amount we have is. (Remember the widow and her offering of two coins, all she had? Now she's a challenge 
 in the way she treats her money) 

Secondly, we can be generous with what we have. Nothing we have is ours, all comes from God. 

Just as long as we do not become like the man who thought he needed 'a little bit more' to be happy. 

Our happiness doesn't lie in money. So, thank you God, for what you have given me.
