Greed

Our lives in this world can revolve around worldly things. Money, food, clothes, or power, these things can all make us greedy. We as humans only want more and more. We put materials first in our lives, only wanting more. We don't put God first in our lives, but we put money and power instead. Greed and desires should not rule our lives, or be first in our lives. The first place and most important place in our lives is reserved for God. We should not try and replace God's rightful place with something else.


A greedy man brings trouble to his family, but he who
hates bribes will live.

Proverbs 15:27

A greedy man stirs up dissension, but he who trusts in
the LORD will prosper.

Proverbs 28:25

The Lord has giving us many blessings. Let us accept them and do not be greedy. Praise him and thank him for all the blessings and the salvation he has given us. It is very hard to resist greed. Everyday we dream of a new phone or new car. Let us be grateful for the things we have now. We have what we have because God gave them to us. There is a reason He gave these things to us. Use them for his glory.

And when we accept Jesus's amazing grace, all the things and all the power we need is given to us.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things
will be given to you as well.

Jeremiah 17:33
