Matthew 25:28-30  “To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ “I am wealthy beyond measure.  I have more than 20 bucks in my wallet.  I can go to Costco and not feel guilty buying a four-pack of new tee shirts. God has blessed me with all I really need.  I worked quite a few jobs in my career, each one provided the means to support my family and my church.  Wealth is not evil.  Having more than my neighbor is not sinful. I give God all the credit for supplying my needs.  I could not have reached the place I am without God in my life. What was supplied to me and mine are blessings. 

What I have an issue with are those who tell me I must have exploited someone to get where I am.  I have an issue with someone telling me, “You did not earn that” or that I must be a terrible person to live in the manner to which I have become accustomed. Listen carefully, “I did not steal, oppress, misappropriate or subjugate anyone.” I simply used the talents God provided and produced more for my maker. What is justice?  Holding me accountable for my actions and not the actions of others. Today I will live in justice of God.  Today I will give God the praise for his love and my daily bread.
