As much as I enjoy social media, I’m not very good at Snapchat! I’ll mess around with filters once in a while, mostly to entertain my 6 and 7 year old daughters, but I usually just share a link to these devotions each day. Not sure if I’m too old to use filters, but we’re all too old to let money and stuff make us act like selfish 2-year-olds crying, “MINE” all the time as we fight to get more!
In Luke 12:15 Jesus said, “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” It’s ok if you have money, but it’s not ok if money has you! The Bible never says that money is the root of all evil, just that the LOVE of money is (1 Timothy 6:10). It’s a bad sign if we’re never satisfied, never content with what we have, and always looking for more stuff instead of looking to God.
In Psalms 17:8, David asks God to “Keep me as the apple of the eye.” To be the apple of someone’s eye pictures being so close to someone who loves you that your reflection shows in their eyes kinda like those dollar signs show in my eyes with that silly filter.
Because God loves us that much, we don’t have to frantically run after money and stuff to fulfill our lives. We get to rely on God Who loves each of us perfectly. We can be content with whatever blessings He decides will be best for us.
