One of the hardest
things most of us have to deal with is greed.
We live in a very materialistic world.
We are bombarded daily by the things we don’t have. We have to constantly stand guard over our
souls so we don’t confuse our wants with our needs. We see things we don’t have and begin to
think that we can’t live without them.
We measure our worth by things rather than relationships. It’s a constant battle that we all
fight. Greed often determines the course
of our lives.
Jesus reminds us that
there is much more to life than things.
Real life is measured by relationships, especially our relationship with
Him. There is nothing to gain by
pursuing things and everything to lose.
If we are consumed by the things of the world, we will lose out on a
relationship with the Lord. The only
thing in life that matters is the state of our souls before God. God measures our worth by Christ not the
things we own or do.
It is utter
foolishness to let things become more important to us than our relationship
with Christ. Examine yourself and
determine what you are living for. Are
you longing for what you don’t have more than you are Christ? How much time are you investing in the
pursuit of earthly things compared to godly things? If you must be driven by greed, let your
greed be directed towards God and not the things of earth.
