1. Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
2. Do you ever get junk mail asking you to double and triple and quadruple your money? All you have to do is invest in the sender’s guaranteed get rich investment scheme and you’re on your way to financial independence. It’s a shame it doesn’t work that way. But Jesus has a better idea.
3. Scripture
   1. John 6:26-29
   2. Jesus:  I tell you the truth—you are tracking Me down because I fed you, not because you saw signs from God.  Don’t spend your life chasing food that spoils and rots. Instead, seek the food that lasts into all the ages and comes from the Son of Man, the One on whom God the Father has placed His seal.

Crowd: What do we have to do to accomplish the Father’s works?

Jesus: If you want to do God’s work, then believe in the One He sent.

4. Devotional
   1. I get these emails several times a day from some money management firms that I somehow managed to get on their list. I’ve tried to get off their list, but so far have been unsuccessful in getting rid of their advice.
      1. Best investments
      2. Multiply my money
      3. Stocks, bonds, commodities
      4. Changes every day
      5. If I had invested as they told me to I would be independently wealthy by now
   2. Schemes remind me of Jesus’ words
      1. Get rich quick
      2. Chase after things that don’t last
      3. Try to satisfy life with the latest fad
      4. Doesn’t work
   3. In Matthew, seek first the kingdom of God and all these other things will be given to you as well.
      1. Riches? Maybe, probably not earthly riches because it’s easy to get your eyes off God
      2. Friends? Absolutely, real friends
      3. Joy
      4. Peace
      5. Contentment
      6. Forgiveness
      7. Relationships that count and continue eternally
      8. Purpose in life, God’s purpose for which He created you
      9. Work worth doing, God’s work
5. If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at SAF.church. If you like the devotional, share it with someone. If you don’t, tell me. I hope you’ll join me again tomorrow for “A Little Walk with God.”
