Who Controls Your 401k?

SCRIPTURE
(Mark 10:21&22) "And looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him, and said to him, 'one thing you lack: go and sell all you possess, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasures in heaven; and come, follow Me.' But at these words his face fell, and he went away grieved, for he was one who owned much property."


OBSERVATION
How hard it is to recognize that all we have, all the earth, belongs to God. He is allowing us to use it and enjoy it. Placing security in monitary wealth will restrict your commitment and replace the God on the throne of your heart. Matthew 6:21 says that where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Who controls your 401k?


APPLICATION
Saving money is not wrong. Saving money out of fear that I won't have enough for the future speaks volumes about where or what your faith is in. God is calling us to a walk of trust and commitment to Him. I think control is the key to this walk of faith. Does God have control of your life or are you in control and just allowing God bits of your attention?

PRAYER
God, show me how to be sold out for You. Reveal those areas that I am holding onto that You want control of.
