Have you ever found yourself thinking that more money would solve all your problems?

It won’t.

But the idea that it will fix everything can be so persistent, even if you know this deep down.

For many, many people money is their #1 idol.

You may have had great financial victories in your life. Some huge successes. This is a blessing, but can be a time of spiritual danger as well.

An increase in wealth can lead to people slowly slipping away from the Lord and becoming complacent.

King David had one of the greatest victories of his life, and then right after that, look what happened. He fell away from a close walk with the Lord. And then one of the lowest times of his life happened.

Could something similar to what happened to King David happen to you? How does money deceive you? Listen to today’s episode to find out!
