BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING

The more God blesses you, the harder it is to keep that blessing from becoming an idol in your life. Money may be the best example. The more money you make, the harder it is to trust Almighty God and the easier it is to trust the Almighty Dollar. Isn't it ironic that [in the U.S.] "In God We Trust" is printed on the very thing we find most difficult to trust God with? If you are financially blessed, it is a gift from God. But God doesn't financially bless us so we can use it selfishly to acquire more things. He blesses us more so we can be more of a blessing.
