james here in the beginning of
chapter 5 talks about the allocation of
money or how i spend it.
the way i spend my money is
very important and he says, don't waste
it. verse 5 (niv), you have
lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence.
we are not to waste our
wealth. one of the greatest temptations,
i think, that we have to avoid as we make more and more is we’re tempted to
spend it selfishly on ourselves. the
more money you make the easier it is to waste it. we tend to say things like, “i’m worth it. i can afford it, so why not?”
listen, just because i can
afford it doesn’t mean i need to buy it.
james says, don’t waste it. it’s
easier to waste your money, the more you have it.
then he says in verse 5 (niv),
you have fattened yourself for the slaughter.
the average american gains two
pounds during the CHRISTmas season.
just a thought from the front
porch…
