11/8/2010 Crown Financial Devo

Mary and I took the Crown Financial Course just after we were married. However, we didn’t learn and really internalize things until a couple of years later. I have, over the years, listened to their podcast and read there daily bible blurb. God has been teaching us thing through our financial hardships, I believe to teach us this very thing. We caused our financial struggles, but He has used it for a teachable moment:

The accumulation of money is a major deterrent to a humble spirit. The tendency is to desire to be served rather than to serve.


“It is not so among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;”

(Matthew 20:26-27 NASB).

So I have been learning to have a humble spirit in everything, and trying to serve to the best of my abilities.
