Have you ever found yourself in the place where you have allowed your finances to determine who you are? You get depressed when you look at others and wonder why you can't have what they have. Or better yet, you look at them and think they are happy because they have more then you.

There is a scripture that is found in Proverbs 22:2 that you need to put on your heart today and for the rest of your life.

Proverbs 22:2 - "The rich and the poor have a common bond, the Lord is the maker of them all."

My question to you is who are you living for? Are you living for yourself or for God? Just remember that we have what we have because of God. We think if we can work harder and longer hours the we will one day reach that status of being able to say "I have made it".

But have you seen people that do this it seems the more they work and the more money they make the less they seem to have? Its because they have made it all about themseleves and have left God out of the equation. The bottom line is that we were created by God, the rich and the poor, for a purpose. Our job is not to run after wealth but to run after God.

And what is His promise? "I will supply all of your needs!"

Prayer: "God, help us to know that we were created by You for a purpose. Help us to seek out that purpose and make you proud of the fact that you created us."
