Money is not the goal. There are too many things that money can’t do. It can’t keep you dry in a storm, you can’t eat it, it can’t spread the Gospel, you can’t live in it… There is basically nothing money can do on its own. The great thing about money is that it can always be traded for something of more value; that’s what you use it for.
You always get something more valuable to you than the actual money you are trading. In fact, you can buy clothes, you can buy food, you can pay for a roof over your head, you can fund missions work so that Christians can go out and share the Gospel.
You have probably never said “I want a million dollars so that I can have a million dollars’. You have thought about the things you want to do with that million dollars. Those big goals in life are the things that are more important than money, and that’s why you should focus on those things when you’re pursuing wealth in your finances. Money has no value, but your goals do.
