I received an email today that really rubbed me the wrong way. It's one of those stupid forwards, that i never forward on. This is what it said....
" 1 Kings 8:23 'A blessing is coming to you in the form of money.' Do not ask questions just forward to eight people and TRUST GOD! These are money bags, send them to 8 good people and you will receive money in 4 days. I'm not joking. Delete and be broke in 2009."
REALLY??
The thing that bothers me about this stupid forward, is how they twisted the verse. I looked up 1 Kings 8:23 and this is what is says, "O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below. You keep your promise of mercy to your servants who obey you wholeheartedly."
What a great verse!! But no where in that verse does it say that God will bless you with money. I believe God wants to bless us but He wants to bless us for being faithful to Him, and not for passing on a ridiculous email.
Thanks for letting me vent.
