Previous Daily Devotional About when money rules… Acts 16:19 When the owners
of the slave girl realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized
Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. 20
They brought them before the magistrates and said, "These men are Jews, and
are throwing our city into an uproar 21 by advocating customs unlawful for us
Romans to accept or practice." You can hurt
people in many ways. However, when you hurt people in the pocketbook, people get
all riled up. People get all riled up about money issues because people worship
money. We may not want to admit we worship money. However, when our pocketbook
is affected, we tend to take notice, stand up, and take action. Political
fortunes rise and fall on the economy. In our modern world, we need money to
survive. So when income is taken away, what takes away our income grabs our
attention. To lead a more godly and devout spiritual life, we must make every
effort to leave out money issues. Money issues will cloud our judgment, and make
us do and say what we might never do or say otherwise. Paul and Silas were taken
to court not just because they were throwing the city into an uproar, but
because the owners of the slave girl lost any hope of making money from the
slave girl's fortune telling. In the same way, in our own time, selling sin and
selling sinful practices generates billions of dollars for sin merchants. |
