AFTER MONEY IS MONEY!
Let’s face it: anyone who says money isn’t important is either joking or ignoring reality. While it’s true that money isn’t everything, it affects almost everything. From paying rent to funding dreams, solving emergencies to raising children, money plays a key role. The Bible says “money answereth all things” (Ecclesiastes 10:19), not because it replaces peace, health, or love, but because it empowers access and ease in everyday life.
Yes, money can’t buy peace of mind, joy, sleep, or good health, but it can buy a comfortable mattress, therapy, healthy food, and access to the best hospitals. It won’t raise your children, but it will send them to good schools, provide safe homes, and open doors for their future. Money enhances options. It doesn’t solve every problem, but it often reduces the weight and chaos around them.
Let’s be real: money may not be everything, but it sure stops a lot of nonsense. From disrespect to discomfort, lack of money often adds pressure where peace should reign. But here’s the truth, while money is powerful, it should never become your god. Instead, it must be a tool, a servant, not a master. A tool for comfort, influence, impact, and options. When used wisely, money can amplify purpose and multiply good. Still, not all money is worth chasing. There are things I simply won’t do for money. But I will work hard, think creatively, serve with excellence, and pray for favor and grace to make wealth in good health. I’ll invest in learning, building value, and connecting with the right people. That’s the formula — skills + strategy + favor. Money flows to prepared minds and consistent hands.
