Then said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions." Luke 12:15
“You don’t happen to have $5000 do you angel?” were words uttered by actor Jimmy Stewart’s character George Bailey in the movie “It’s A Wonderful Life” when he attempted to commit suicide over needing money. Somehow money is the ultimate prize. People want more and more and seem never satisfied and society says you have ‘arrived’ when you obtain a 6 figure salary.
Desperate people do all sorts of things. Rob, steal, commit suicide, gamble, anything to gain more money. Your life does not consist in how much you obtain but in what you do with what God has blessed you with. Be content and help others if you have means to do so.
Today stop and say thanks. Don’t covet others things because you have no idea what their life is like. To get wealthy too many have shattered families on the way or have gotten away from God. Be happy and be sure to share.
PRAYER: Thanks for my many blessings you provide for me Lord. Help me never be jealous of others but to say thanks for what I have. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
