				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe it&#8217;s just me&#8230; but sometimes I still find myself being a little surprised/shocked at how many folks want to &#8220;make it big&#8221; and &#8220;get rich quick.&#8221;</p>
<p>Every day, we encounter some kind of &#8220;great plan&#8221; giving us the chance to make some alleged fast cash. Now,  I&#8217;m sure some of those business <del>schemes</del> ideas are legit, but really, most just make me roll my eyes.</p>
<p>This blog post is not a slam against monetary success. We&#8217;ve talked about it before&#8211; Jesus never said money in itself was the root of evil. The LOVE of money is. Ultimately, our reaction to it determines the result.</p>
<p>It can bless. Or it can destroy. We get to choose.<span id="more-2694"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://7daystime.com/2012/12/10/get-rich-quick/money-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-2682"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2682" alt="Money" src="http://7daystime.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/money.jpg" width="690" height="461" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fortunately/unfortunately, a large majority of us will never be featured on the news for winning the MegaMillions. There&#8217;s been a couple of times this year where the lottery jackpot reached some ridiculous levels. Perhaps you remember (or bought a ticket?) All I know is that Facebook was blowing up with offers to &#8220;Like this ticket and we will split the pot with you&#8221; and my friends&#8217; statuses jokingly (?) dreamed about what they would do with 550 million bucks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As I drove home a couple of weeks ago, right before one of the big lotto drawings, I saw one of the billboards on the interstate updating the world on the current lottery dollar amounts. I let my mind wander for a moment&#8211; what would happen if I had that kind of cash?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Within seconds, my stomach flopped. I had no desire for the drama or challenge that come with dealing with that amount of cash. I&#8217;ve read too many stories of families crashing and burning after &#8220;making bank.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Don&#8217;t get me wrong&#8211; there are some folks that do a great job of keeping a focus on Jesus while working their bucks for the good of the kingdom. But personally&#8211; I don&#8217;t know if I want that responsibility. Yikes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here&#8217;s the point&#8230; We don&#8217;t have to win the lotto to get rich quick.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We can find all the riches we need in Christ Jesus.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Seriously. The end. Bye-bye.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just kidding.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But seriously. Christ IS all we need. With Jesus, it doesn&#8217;t matter if we have 20 cents in our pocket or 20 million in the bank. HE is all we need.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It&#8217;s Christmas and lately I&#8217;ve heard many folks stressing out about how they are going to make ends meet this month to make sure their kids/friends/families have the newest, neatest gadgets and toys.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That stresses ME out just thinking about it. SIGH. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with desiring to give to others&#8211; in fact, the Bible encourages it. But there&#8217;s a thin line between generosity with a heart of love and reckless consumerism just because we have a piece of magic plastic in our pocket with &#8220;Visa&#8221; written on it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So I know it sounds cheesy, but this year, let&#8217;s ALL make an effort to keep our eyes on Jesus. He is the reason for the season. He&#8217;s already paid our debt. We don&#8217;t have to wait until payday to access Him. Unlike coupons, His value never expires.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With Him&#8230; We can get &#8220;rich&#8221;&#8230; every time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">High Rollin&#8217; with the Most Holy,<br />
SGK</p>
