A reminder for
today
You can be sure that
no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of
God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.(Ephesians 5:5)
How are you, my friend? It is yet another Friday and another
weekend that lies ahead. I love Fridays and I guess a lot of you too. As Friday
starts you get that weekend feeling and your body goes into relax mode. You
mind takes a breather and your heart takes a break. In today’s world most
people work on weekends and in so many updates we spend just as much time
working on a weekend than we work in the week. As we rush to get things done we
fight through weekends to deliver. So your body goes into weekend mode but your
mind goes into overdrive, because now it must pull things together when the
body wants to rest. Greed is such a terrible thing and it can drive people
insane. With greed comes so many bad things and we must be careful that we do
not get ourselves tangled in it. Greed is purely an intense and selfish desire
for something, especially wealth, power, or food. Wealth and power is something
so many desires and it can make a good man a very bad man. So many lives have
been lost, because of someones greed and lust for power.
Steer away from it and focus your desires on God. Desire
more of God and more time with Him. Desire to be more like Jesus and to be able
to walk in His footsteps. Desire a pure heart and strong moral compass. Desire
the things of heaven then the things of this earth will have no meaning for
you. Desire to be good to other and good in all your relationships then you
will never be embarrassed. Desire to stand for what is right then the enemy
will fall in all their attempts. Desire a heart free from the greed of man and
you will prosper in all that is God.
So today my challenge is simple – do not be greedy. I sound
simple yet it can be a hard one. So I challenge you to steer away from greed
and be contempt.
Lord, I pray that you will fill our hearts with all of you
so that we will not be affected by greed, instead we will seek you above all.
In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
