“But the richer the people get, the more pagan altars they build. The more beautiful their harvests, the more beautiful their sacred pillars.” (NLT) -Hosea 10:1
As we make more money, we tend to spend more money. We must remember that we are merely stewards of “our” riches, as they originated from God. Don’t let your riches steal your heart away from Him. If you find this happening, change your outlook on your income. Perhaps God didn’t give it to you to consume all of it, perhaps He gave it to you to share and bless others.

There is a flip side to the danger of money that you mentioned: hoarding the money thinking that financial security is future security!
Valid point Debbie. In those moments we miss golden opportunities from being self-centered and not focusing on the day at hand. Thanks for reading and commenting!
