Taking bribes, money not earned, can skew our perspective. Judas fell to the plans of the chief priest by accepting 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus. When Judas realized the error of his ways, he tried to return the money, but the Jewish leaders didn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo Judas threw the money into the Temple. Then he went out from there and hanged himself.\u201d Matt. 27:5<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Jewish leaders called the 30 pieces of silver blood money unworthy of the temple treasury, using it to buy the Potter\u2019s Field, a burial place for paupers and strangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Judas didn\u2019t find contentment with Jesus; the disciple\u2019s greed consumed and ruined him. Tithing breaks money\u2019s hold on our lives; giving God our first fruits breeds contentment and keeps the Lord top priority in our finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t let greed and the promise of easy money interfere with your relationship with God. Practice Biblical finances and enjoy divine contentment.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord, forgive us for having moments of greed.\u00a0 Help us develop contentment as we apply Your principles to our finances.\u00a0 Thank You for providing for us in ways we never imagined.\u00a0 Let us manage well the blessings You give.\u00a0 IJNIP.
