Hello ,
Just outside Carlsbad, CA, a chaotic scene unfolded as several cars stopped in the middle of the I-5 freeway to grab money that spilled out. At 9:15 a.m., the back doors of an armored truck popped open and bags of $1 and $20 notes burst open across the Interstate. One patrol officer described the scene as “free-floating bills all over the freeway."
Some motorists thought it was "Free money" and were grabbing hands full of cash and celebrating their good fortune. Others posted stories on social media platforms, sharing with their followers their good luck.
While some returned their bounty, others drove away from the scene. The authorities warned that they would be watching the videos posted online and all the money had to be returned within 48 hours to avoid criminal charges. Imagine the disappointment of those who thought they had easy money. *
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God..."
Ephesians 2:8
There's something that is better than "free money," can be grabbed onto, and won't have to be given back. Our place with Jesus has nothing to do with our ability to produce it. The good news is, He has already provided everything that we need in order to claim it.
Have a great day and God bless!
