Are you hungry for money? Are you desperate to get it? They say money makes the world go 'round (well the globers do anyway) but like most things we were taught, it's a lie. There's no guarantee of success or riches for any of us except for the selected elite who they love to pass off as being "self-made," and if you've read Gladwell's "Outliers" you know that's not true either. But we can achieve a worthwhile degree of success when we devote ourselves to solving legitimate problems in the world. Find a need and fill it with your unique solution. This is perhaps the best advice for choosing an occupation. We all need to take care of ourselves and our family. Yet we must also comprehend the greatest need in the world — to know the Savior. A life focused on helping people meet this desperate need probably won't bring riches in this world, but the wise invest in eternity. "What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" Mark 8:36.

Outro track: "Seek Ye First," Maranatha!
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky: They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you more valuable than they are? And which of you by worrying can add even one hour to his life? Why do you worry about clothing? Think about how the flowers of the field grow; they do not work or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these! And if this is how God clothes the wild grass, which is here today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, won’t he clothe you even more, you people of little faith? So then, don’t worry saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For the unconverted pursue these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But above all pursue his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own. — Matthew 6:24-34 NET
