Genesis 2: 11 — 12, “The name of the first stream is Pishon. It flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.  That gold is good. Bdellium and onyx are also there.” A question I was asked was, “If God knew we would eventually love money more than Him, why would he have created it?” We know that not everyone who is wealthy abuses their wealth. the letters that make up the Hebrew word for gold could be defined as something that nourished the house or the family. The economy that our Creator designed for us was not intended to be a measure of success but a tool that we could use to nourish or to provide for ourselves and others.
