SERVING THE WORLD AND CHASING MONEY

We have to stop comparing ourselves to what society motto of success and worthiness; that keeps us chasing money and serving the world's view and values, when we should be serving the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.  Saints should only want to be compared to Jesus so we can please God; who will save us, not a man who cannot even save himself.

Lord, we still fall short of Your mercy, grace, and favor, but You still love us.  Father, touch our hearts with Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You in our daily lives.  Lord, do not let us hinder our Spiritual growth or blessings with guilt, baggage, or comparison.  Father, we should only compare ourselves to Christ, because the world cannot save us, only Christ.  Lord, thank You, for helping us carry our burdens, so we do not grow weary of doing good.  Father, thank You, for freeing us through the blood of Christ, so we are no longer guilty of our sins; when we repent and turn away we are forgiven and restored to our Father. Lord, we want to be more like Christ, so we will be submissive to the Word, and have a strong desire to please You, and not man.  Lord, examine our hearts and remove all that is not of You, remove every demonic spirit and every generation curse; so we will have the joy of serving You and others.  Lord, we understand that we need money to pay for the things we need to live, but let us not love money to the point of sinning to have it,  In Jesus name Amen
