When Money Isn't the Answer

Even with financial pressures on, most Americans are much better off than much of the rest of the world.  We tend to truly gauge our comfort by financial measure.  We all say we know money can't buy happiness, or health, but we've so parlayed our priorities that we really don't realize how much money we spend without realizing it isn't buying what we want.

As of late, I've seen so many examples of people with a steady flow of more than enough money, but without real priorities.  Their money just runs through their fingers, and they simply justify or rationalize their inability to move forward.   So, as the money runs through their fingers, they buy "more of the same" that keeps them somewhat entertained and satisfied to reach no goals, but they are not happy.  They have plenty of "toys" that quickly mean nothing, and the attempt to fill the void is perpetual.  

I've seen another situation as of late, in which two individuals have a great deal of money, don't have to worry about earning it, but they can't buy their health.  These two individuals greatly prized their money in their days of health.  How sad it is to see that what was so important through so much of their life, now won't buy them any quality of life.  Their health is simply too poor for them to enjoy life.

There is one bright spot that has come from this economic downturn of recent years.  Many of us are simply realizing that our happiness and health doesn't rely on our bank account.  We also realized, considering our bank accounts, that's a very good thing!  Our Heavenly Father gives something more amazing than happiness, He gives joy.  He is also our healer, and His fee is is simple faith and obedience.  And He gives something more than money, He supplies our need according to His riches . . .

 But my G-d shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Messiah Y'hshuwah.
