"He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?" (Luke 16:10-11).
There are many of us that have made comments such as, "if only I could win 10 million dollars my life would be so much better." But money can buy some things but it can't buy everything. Money can buy u medicine but it can't buy u health. Money can buy u a bed but it can't buy u sleep. Money can buy u a house but it can't buy u a home. Money can buy your reputation but it cant buy you character. Money can buy you entertainment but it cant buy you joy. So many today sacrifice their health to make a bunch of money only to sacrifice all their money trying to get their health back. In addition, lots of money can ruin a person that does not value more the true riches that come down from above. I heard it said that if you want to know how rich you are, add up all that you have that money can't buy and death can't take away. Be faithful to God where you are with what you have and he will bless you with heavenly riches.
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” Psalms 1:1-3
