Many are the woes of those who refuse the hand of the Lord and follow their own whims. In this, they reject what God has revealed and go their own way just as Adam did. So many have to learn that the world’s ways lead to death. Money cannot buy your salvation, only faith in the finished work on the Cross. This is the battle that is raging in the world today. Money is determining many decisions and God is replaced by money. Yet we know money is just a vehicle and not the end. It is the means to an end and not the end. Putting your faith in money reduces everything into a commodity with value. God is also reduced to a thing. We make idols of God so that we can control Him. Yet He stands wanting to have a relationship with us. He has chosen to come and live within us but we reject Him. God created man in His own image. Now man wants to create God in his own image. What an upside-down view the creation has of the Creator. In this is the fall seen and God sees this and His heart is grieved. Come to your Maker and be blessed.
