Killing yourself over money? Is it really that serious.

Billionaires killing themselves over business failures.
Adolf Merckle one of Germany’s richest men at age 74 decides to take his life, or at least that what officials are saying.
I know money is a powerful motivater, but to take your life because you lose it all is an act of cowardice. I believe the following section of a poem sums it up.
“If you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss;…Your is the earth and everything that’s in it, and which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!” -words from If by Rudyard Kipling.
I believe it takes a man to admit that he lost it all, and then start again to rebuild. I understand the man was 74, but no one is to old to get life right. Obviously he didn’t have the hope that he needed, and snuffed out his life too soon.
I pray for his family in there time of sorrow.
A proverb a day: Proverbs 3:9-10 -The key to financial success.

People all over the world are seeking to become financially free. A place in their lives where the amount of money that they have far out weigh the amount of obligations they owe, therefore making them free to make the decision to work or not.
I will admit, I am one of these people. It’s not that I don’t want to work. I would just like to choose the field in which I want to work and not be directed by certain financial crisis, or be dependent on government bail outs.
In my quest for financial freedom I have figured out the key to financial success. The key lies in the book of Proverbs. It has been their for centuries and many wise men have taken advantage, and on the other hand many people chose a different path. Here is the key:
“Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10 KJV
Seems simple, but so many people fail to follow the instructions of God. If we just pause to think about where our substance comes from, from where we get our ableness to work to earn money, from where all of our blessings flow, we should have no problem realizing that following this proverb should be a natural outflow of life. For our very life is dependent upon this great God.
Knowing all of this now gives those that follow these wise instructions an advantage in the finacial world. We shall have plenty if we honour God first, and with our best. Tithes of our earnings is our first and all the giving that follows becomes our best.
I am so happy I found the key to financial success and I wanted to share the key with you. We can all be financially victorious if we just follow this simple proverb.
Are you ready to have plenty? Are you ready to be financially free?
Be wise.
