God's Answer.

Turning to the Bible, this was what I saw in Jeremiah 12, aptly titled 'God's Answer' in bold.

GOD''S ANSWER
5 “If you have raced with men on foot,
and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble in safe country,
how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?

6 My inheritance has become to me
like a lion in the forest.
She roars at me;
therefore I hate her.

7 Has not my inheritance become to me
like a speckled bird of prey
that other birds of prey surround and attack?
Go and gather all the wild beasts;
bring them to devour.

13 They will sow wheat but reap thorns;
they will wear themselves out but gain nothing.
So bear the shame of your harvest
because of the Lord's fierce anger.”

14 This is what the Lord says:
“As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance I gave my people Israel,
I will uproot them from their lands
and I will uproot the house of Judah from among them.

15 But after I uproot them,
I will again have compassion
and will bring each of them back
to his own inheritance and his own country.

16 And if they learn well the ways of my people... saying,
‘As surely as the Lord lives’
—even as they once taught my people to swear by Baal—
then they will be established among my people.

17 But if any nation does not listen,
I will completely uproot and destroy it,” declares the Lord.


This inheritance that awaits me - its artifice chokes as greed from the Onlooker wears my patience thin.

Money cannot buy Happiness.

Like God has said, it has become a snare and I, a bird of prey.

Repent, Onlooker(s).

Depend on nobody but yourself. God has gifted me with what I do best & that will be the area in which I effect change in lives.

Do what is Good & Right. Be honest & uphold Righteousness.

As for the monetary aspects, I will use what I have to help the Poor.

That would be right in God's sight.
