” What’s at the Center of your Box”

Taken from the bible passage:

Luke 16:13
Nkjv
13 “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

If God told you to give something away and you said, “God, I could give anything else away, but not that,” then you don’t own that thing—it owns you.

You’ve got to decide whom or what you’re going to serve—and your giving will reflect your decision. If God is Lord of your life, then He should be Lord of your wallet too.

There once was a wealthy man who gave to Christian causes far above his tithe. But it hadn’t always been that way for him. Years ago, he had met with a financial planner. After they had talked for a while, the financial planner took a sheet of paper and drew a box. Outside of the box, he drew two things: a dollar sign representing money and a cross representing Christ.

He said,
“I hear two things vying for your attention. I can’t help you plan your life until you tell me which of these things you want in the center of that box, which represents your life.”

The wealthy man thought about it for a moment and then said,
“I want Christ at the center of my life.” That was a turning point—that was when he started investing for eternity.

If someone drew a box representing your life and asked what was in the center of it, what would you say? Would you place a cross or a dollar sign inside the box? Would your bank statement support your answer? You can say that something holds first place in your life, but the way you spend your time and money reveals the truth.

When it comes to your finances, you have to make two key decisions: First, who will be your master? Second, where you will put your money—in eternity or in the here and now?

Jesus said,
Matthew 6:20-21
Nkjv
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

God doesn’t need your money. He wants what it represents: your heart.

You can show God that he has your whole heart by surrendering control of your money to him. Commit today to giving what he tells you to give in service to him and others.

It is up for you to decide what do you want at the center of your “box”?

Your decision now leads to your future destination 🙏

Have a great day ahead🙏❤️
