Sixteen of the thirty-eight parables of Jesus deal with money. One out of ten verses in the New Testament deals with that subject. Scripture offers about five hundred verses on prayer fewer than five hundred on faith and over two thousand on money. The believers attitude toward money and possessions is determinative.

Centering our thoughts on God begins with what I like to call discovery. That is when we discover a great truth about God we begin to meditate on that truth until it captivates our whole thinking process. That in turn will lead to worship.If worship is based on meditation and meditation is based on discovery what is discovery based on On time spent with God in prayer and the Word. It is sad that many view prayer primarily as a way to get things. We have lost sight of the companion aspect of prayer - of being still and aware of Gods wonderful presence and just communing with Him there.
