Not all that glitters is gold. 1 Corinthians 11: 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

If we don’t love others in our giving, it profits us nothing. The direction our love flows is the key thing that will determine whether we move forward in the ways of the Kingdom of God, or we slide down into mammon. If our love starts to flow towards money and stuff, and we start trying to manipulate others, or even attempt to manipulate God into bringing money our way, then we’ve lost the plot and our giving is really motivated by mammon. However, when our love for others stays paramount and any gain we might receive remains a secondary consideration, then we keep the door open for supernatural Kingdom increase. When you prioritize your relationship with others over your own personal gain you won't be ensnared by the love of money. The problem is never about the stuff you acquire in life, but rather the direction our love flows. Does it flow towards that stuff? Or does your love flow towards others regardless of the stuff you do or don't have?

God gives rest to his children. When we’re tired all the time it might be because we’re trying to accomplish things in our flesh apart from God. That’s nothing but wasted effort because God gives sleep to those he loves, which includes you! Not only does God give you sleep, but He gives you blessings at the same time. I have to regularly remind myself of this. Even though my work is blessed, I am not blessed because of my hard work. Instead I can go to bed at a decent hour, get plenty of rest, and know that God blesses me and what I do anyway.

It is vain for you to rise early,
To retire late,
To eat the bread of anxious labors—
For He gives [blessings] to His beloved even in his sleep. — Psalms 127:2 (AMP)
