A
reminder for today
Such
is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life (Proverbs
1:19)
They say “Money
makes the world go round” and the desire for wealth and power is as old as
the earth. From the beginning people desired to be rich and wealthy as they wanted
to be like God. Eve was tricked into believing the forbidden fruit would give
her wisdom so that she would be like God. The
woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked
delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the
fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he
ate it, too (Genesis 3:6). Her lust for power drove her to follow the lies
of the serpent and in the end disobey God that altered their way of live and
banished them from the Garden of Eden. Greed robs us of life. The unquenchable
desire for more will destroy you. People walk over other in their lust for
power that they do not care who they hurt and destroy in their ravenous
plunder. Be content with what you have so that you can spend time living your
life instead of wasting your time to fill an empty emotion that desires more
and more until it destroys who you are. In the end money does make the world go
round, a tiny world that you make for yourself that spins on an axis of false
hope that you invent with your desire to be like God. This becomes a foundation
that is built on sand that will fall down in the smallest of storms. The real
world does not go round because of money. It turns round and round, because it
was made by the very God that will give you all you need. Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for (Matthew 7).
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
