God or Gold? - Part 2

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33).

So how do we in our pursuit of happiness balance it between God and Gold?

Note: Gold is used to generally mean possession.

First and foremost, the most important thing in your life is not Gold, it is your relationship with God that comes first. Jesus warn those who think they can chase both God and Gold: 'you can't serve two master, God and mammon'.

In our pursuit of happiness, we must realize that God is the true giver of wealth. The devil only Package sorrow and present it to us as wealth. Don't be deceived.

Secondly, true happiness is not found in the abundance of our possession. Solomon despite been the richest guy still get depressed.  Money doesn't equate happiness. Happiness is of the mind. Gold won't bring you happiness but God will.

Thirdly, be contended. Contentment doesn't mean you are satisfied at the level you are. It simply means you are not materialistic. It means you don't allow greed or covetousness to rule you. In your pursuit of happiness, Be contended with what you have. Don't always look for quick money. God is a God of process and principle. Those who are in a hurry to get money are more likely to do anything untoward for money.

As you go through the day, be diligent in your work and see God prosper the works of your hands.
Remember true happiness is found not in gold but in God.

Top of the morning to you and have a prosperous day.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

You are good and do good;....  - Psalm 119:68  Few months back, I came across an inspiring song by Jason David who happens to be a pastor.  He was diagnosed with cancer. After a year-long fight with cancer that claimed much of his tongue, Pastor Jason David refuses to stop singing. "These Walls" is an original worship song he wrote that became his anthem as he fought through several surgeries, chemotherapy & radiation. For someone going through challenges; financial, health, marital, academic, whatever it may be, I pray this song will bless you - no matter what walls or mountains you may face, God is greater & God is good!  Below are the lyrics of the song: Verse: You are greater than these walls I'm circling  You are stronger than these army  I see You are bigger than these mountains that I faced And I will choose only to praise You.
