Who Do We Trust: Almighty God or the Almighty Dollar?
But do you—do we—trust in almighty God more than we trust in the almighty dollar?
It’s a serious question, not one that should be replied to with sarcasm or haste. And if this writer is being honest, I spend far too much of my time worrying about the future than living in the present moment. To be even more specific, my worries are often linked to financial security. You know, those dollars that say “In God we trust”? I feel more faith-filled when my pockets are cushioned with an adequate amount of dollars to pay my bills and still have enough to get that overly-priced latte from the local craft coffee shop. All of this talk of dollars is highly metaphorical, though, when I rarely am found with physical dollars thanks to the convenience of credit and debit cards. But the point still stands. I don’t need to read a dollar bill to challenge my belief that God is the one in whom I trust, not money. And all of this is due to the fact that many of us have missed what life is truly measured by. Jesus has something to say to this.
