Three Things That Money Cannot Buy - GENUINE SECURITY

"My mom is always telling me that I need to marry a man with a lot of money and learn a trade so that I can have a good job to fall back on for the rest of my life," says 17-year-old Sarah/  "The only thing that sees  to be on the back of her mind is where her next paycheck is coming from."

To think about: When contemplating the future what legitimate concerns do you have? When does legitimate concern cross the  and become inordinate worry?  How might Sarah's mom provide a more balanced approach to financial security?

Bible principles to consider:   "Stop storing up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume, and where the thieves break in and steal." - MATTHEW 6:19. 

"You do not know what your life will like tomorrow." - JAMES 4:14.

The bottom line:  "There is more  to a secure future than stockpiling money. After all, money can be stolen- and it cannot cure disease or prevent death.  (Ecclesiastes 7:12)  The Bible teaches   that genuine security comes from knowing God and his purpose. -  JOHN 17:3.
