Luke 12:15
And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
When measured against the rest of the world where basic needs such as food and shelter aren’t a guarantee, you’re pretty wealthy. Whether you’re considered rich or poor by this country’s standards, there are probably a number of luxuries you enjoy, or wish you could enjoy. There’s nothing wrong with being rich or poor, but don’t let what you have or don’t have become more important than what you live for. The truth is, you’re just passing through this life on your way to your eternal home, either with God, or apart from Him. Invest your heart in the treasure that is to come, not the treasures you have here on earth. The world we live in isn’t even worth comparing to the kingdom Christ has prepared.
