Then he 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
I probably should have posted this verse the
day before Thanksgiving, as a reminder to those “Black Friday” shoppers . . .
In this story in the book of Luke, Jesus is
addressing two brothers who are fighting over their inheritance.
He gives them a strong warning about thinking
that their possessions can give their life worth and ultimate value.
So what if you didn’t get a “hatchling” or a
Nintendo, “stuff” does not define who you are.
Greed grips our hearts when we place material
things (or anything) in the place of God and His ultimate approval and
blessings in our life.
We have been given the very best God has to
offer in the form of His Son!
Have a blessed day!
