Greed

Luke 12:15:31

“One’s life does not consist in the abundance of things he possesses. It is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.”

And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

Seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.”

We as humans always want more, more love, more happiness, more possessions, more money, more clothes, more food and so much more. What we don’t think about is the fact that we can’t take it with us when we die, and that God always provides all we need.

“Not that I speak in respect to want, for I have learned in whatever state I am, therewith to be content.” Philippians 4:11

Considering what Paul was saying, he had so many trials and tribulations that of all people who could have been depressed. He could have wanted so much more but he knew God had a plan for him and he was willing to go through all that he went through to be a true testimony for God. I encourage you to read through Philippians to know Paul’s history and all that he went through.

Please read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior.
