The Tentacles of Money Power

We need money in order to buy goods and services, but unfortunately, some tend to make it their God.

Yes. It's very true. The "... love of money is the root of all evil..." not money itself but the love of it.

It seems that even when people with money take away more from the poor and pocket more for themselves, they are still liked and respected by the have- not's. I don't understand it.

Love never works on its own unless you are unattached to all other things. When you see (or think that) love is not working for you, you become attached to that one thing that you think will bring you all others. This is money. Real love, however, cannot be bought, because it is at one level, priceless, but on the other level, it's free. The free is undervalued; the priceless side seems unobtainable; and so money is chased instead, because what glitters is not love, but remains attractive to one not strong enough to only follow love. How do you gain the strength to only follow love? Trust in the provision of life to life. God has not created life alone. All life supports all other life, and when we realise this, we too will grow like the lilies in the fields grow, without any unnecessary worries. Note: The reference to lilies above is referring to this well-known quote from the Christian bible. This long quote is from Saint Matthew's gospel, chapter 6, verses 25 to 34. It is well worth rereading in its entirety. The Cure for Anxiety “For this reason, I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? “Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? “And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? “And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. “But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ “For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Picture credit: Photo used here taken from the free media site: Pixabay.com It depicts a new form of money to trap us in its cage: Bitcoin
