On our money it says “In God we trust”, but is this truly the case? Jesus said that we cannot serve God and mammon (Matt. 6:24). Mammon is often translated “money”, yet if you conduct a word study you will see that it also involves the idea of “that in which we trust”. Mammon is something other than the Lord in which we have put our trust. Is our trust in God? And by that I mean the true God as He has revealed Himself in the Bible. If our trust is not in Him, then it is in a false god.
Let us examine our hearts before Christ and see if we are trusting in anything else other than Jesus Himself. He is the Shepherd, we can trust in Him!
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD.” (Jer. 17:7 ESV)
