The simplicity that is in Christ (4)

"Money can bring happiness but it also brings complexity, and complexity can quickly lead to unhappiness."

~ Morgan Housel

Working hard to make a lot of money, thinking it can bring happiness, can lead to unhappiness. This has been proven by many wealthy people.

Money is a tool. When it becomes a goal, then it becomes the master of my life.

"You cannot serve both God and money." (Matthew 6.24 GNB)

As a tool, money is essential in many things that I need to do to serve out my purpose in Christ. But to live in "the simplicity that is in Christ", I need to subjugate money to Christ' purpose, not my purpose.
