Money pt.2

As I was pondering my own finances and how it relates to my faith in God I had a thought. Consider this. What if each of us was employed by the same company and we each had a corporate credit card. We would be allowed to use that card for specific purposed based on the policies of the company. Some things would be allowed like a modest hotel room while on a business trip. Other things like an extravagant room could be banned. Renting a car or taking a plane could be ok if it fir into the policy. If we decided to take that card and go out on a shopping spree we would be using it wrongly and stealing from the company especially if we hid what we did. We would be guilty of misappropriation of funds. You hear about it all the time. A local sports group will have someone who made off with a lot of money. In most cases it started off small. A little bit here with the promise to pay it back later. Over time it begins to snowball into a larger and larger amount and then the person is facing jail time. Don't we do the same thing? We are servants of a King. We have a policy (the Bible) to follow. When we go against the stated policy we are stealing from the King. When we use His things in the wrong ways we are guilty of being bad stewards. Where in your life are you using things that belong to God (which is everything) in ways that wouldn't please Him? Will you continue to disobey God or will to look as His word and put your trust in what He says is right and true? What are you going to do about?
