Invest Wisely
from Daily Got a Minute Message with John Ed · host John Ed Mathison
God gives us financial resources and expects us to be good stewards of them. In 45 states last year, Americans spent over $100 billion on lotteries. Combining all of those would make U.S. lotteries the country’s ninth most profitable company. The tragedy is that the poorest 1 percent of households spend an average of $600 a year on lottery tickets, which is 30 times greater than the percentage spent by the richest households. People who buy a ticket think they are going to win. What if Americans gave that $100 billion to non-profit ministries that are reaching out to help everybody achieve a better standard of living? Invest your money in something that’s going to make a difference in this life and for eternity. Invest wisely.
