An Economics Lesson …

Money…

It can buy you a house, but not a home.

It can buy you a bed, but not sleep.

It can buy you a meal but not an appetite.

It can buy you entertainment but not happiness.

It can buy you an expensive watch, but not time.

It can buy you the best medical care, but it cannot buy life and health.

It can buy you shoes, but it cannot make you walk.

It can buy you music, but can’t put a song in your heart.

It can ease your conscience by giving to the poor, but it cannot buy eternal life in Heaven.

It can buy eyeglasses, but it cannot allow you to see a sunrise.

It can buy an education, but not give you intelligence.

It can buy you protection, but not peace.

It can buy hearing aids, but hearing is a gift from God.

It cannot buy pardon for your sins.

It cannot buy the joy of knowing that you are a child of God and a royal descendant of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

It cannot buy the precious blood of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

It cannot buy a white robe or a new name in Heaven!

It cannot buy my mansion or my time with the Lord Jesus.

It can steal my time if I forget that money is not worth much in the scope of everything else. Money cannot buy faith and trust in the provision of the Lord Jesus!
