2nd Crucial Secret About Money

Money Secret #2 – There is nothing wrong with having a lot of money.

This is so counter to the belief system I was raised with. I was taught that spiritual people don’t have money and that rich people were most likely greedy, selfish and materialistic. We were encouraged to only concern ourselves with our “daily bread” – that was all we could expect and shouldn’t want for more.

So let me ask you this, if abundance and money is so bad, why did God use it as a reward for obedience?

Do you remember the story of King Solomon? He was a young ruler in Bible times and God offered him anything he asked for. King Solomon asked for wisdom (of course, he already had hundreds of wives and concubines ;-).

Of all the things he could have asked for – he asked for wisdom! Well, God was apparently so impressed, he gave Solomon wisdom and riches! As a matter of fact, by calculating the Bible account of all that Solomon had – it’s been determined that he was the richest man who ever lived!!

If money is so bad, why did God “smite” Solomon with it? Perhaps money isn’t the problem after all.
