Money [ Matthew 19 v 16ff]

I was watching a program about the Faroe Islands,a small kingdom ruled by
Denmark,although it has a degree of self government.It has a small population,fishing is one of the main means of livelihood.It is a very inhospitable place,it is not a place where life is easy.But they love football,
again the weather does not make it easy,but as  I have said,they love it,not much money in it,yet one of the people being interviewed said  he felt things were going to change,the reason being was money.In 1 Timothy 6 v10,reads,/ For the love of money is the root of all evil/W  Hendriksen, translates it like this,/For a root of all the evils is the love of money/.
Consider it was a love of money that drove Judas to betray Jesus,consider
how many crimes are committed for money. A rich young man when faced with choosing money and the Saviour, he chose money[Matthew 19 v16ff]
It is a challenge to consider this subject,but it must be faced,whatever that means for you or me,I do hope and pray that we all make the right choice.
                                                A  prayer.
Dear Lord help us all to not let money become become something that we love .Amen.
