Job 22:24 Then you will lay down your gold in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks. Yes the Almighty will be our gold and precious silver, for then you will have your delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God. You will make your prayer for Him and He will hear you and you will pay your vows.
It is time for us to find our delight in God and not in earthly things. So many people we know have more commitment to gaining earthly wealth than to God. Job’s friend encouraged him to turn to God, repent and lay down his earthly wealth in order to seek God. So many times in life I have had to make that decision. I will look at someone else’s nice things and desire it and God will challenge me to pursue Him and His calling more than gold or silver. It is not always easy, as the world has a strong attraction, but it is worth it.
The world will not meet Jesus if Christians are seeking for or chasing money for their own pockets. Our wealth must work for God and not be for our own comfort only. God will only become your delight if you take on this mindset as God will not compete for your attention.
So remember:
1. See your wealth as nothing compared to God
2. Seek God’s face – delight yourself in Him
3. Pay your vows – let your money work for God
