When faced with options, we default to questions like:
Which one is cheaper?
What's the best bang for my buck?
What gives the best financial return?
This is so normal that we don't think anything of it. But I'm here to shake things up.
Jesus said you can serve God or money, but not both. In other words, either God is making your decisions, or money is.
Jesus revealed what it looks like to take money off the throne of our lives. He didn't consider money AT ALL when making decisions.
My favorite example is when it was time to pay taxes. Apparently, they didn't even think about taxes until the due date, so His disciple frantically asked what to do.
Without even a pause, Jesus told Him to go fishing and he would find a gold coin in a fish's mouth. A quick and miraculous solution to what most people would consider a big deal.
Jesus understood that there were bills to pay, but He was never bothered by them. He knew God had the answer, so He leaned in to heaven's wisdom and did whatever was revealed.
Let's do what Jesus did. Take money off the throne and let God make our decisions. Stop asking how much it costs, and instead ask God what He wants.
