Money is not the Problem the Love of Money Is.
Heb. 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you (NIV)."
The love of money will have you so concerned with keeping up with the Jones you forget who you are. You become a rat running the rat race. The problem is if you win you still are a rat. The pressures of wanting more chokes you and puts you under pressure. You try to keep up with a world that is doomed. You want what is going to be destroyed.
The God's Word shows how seeking wealth is deceitful. Wanting more of what you already have and still never satisfied. Wanting less of what you need and wondering why you are empty. Lusting after the riches of the world will leave you empty. Having more money will not make you a better person or a bigger giver or give you satisfaction. Gods' word will bring you satisfaction and contentment. You can rest on his word God said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
Make room for God's promise to enter your heart. Make room for God's Word to pierce your heart with love and peace. Grow in God's love with confidence that He will provide your every need. Keep your life free from the love of money and love to obey and seek God's word and following Jesus Christ God's Son. Be satisfied that God will do just what He said and He demonstrated this in giving His only Son, Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.
