So, what does God say about the squandering of the money that he has provided for you?
Luke 16:13 says: “No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
1 Timothy 6:17: As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
1 Timothy 6:10: For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

For some it was for nice clothes, for others it may have been a car, but for many, it was earmarked for partying and having a good time, just like the prodigal son.
Do you have any idea the amount of money that you may have squandered on partying?
