‘Thoughts'

Greed!

Illness: Greed is that which causes one to hunger and thirst after the things of this world. It is the concept of, “ What can I get next? ” Our society is consumed with what we think we need.

From lawn ornaments to boats; from where we will go on vacation next to what

movie we will see.

You see! It doesn't just include things, it also consumes time and even involves how we may treat others (favoritism) based on how they may help us achieve what we need.

If you don't think this includes us all, you had better think again!

 

Cure:

Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness , For they shall be filled.”

James 2:8-9 “If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, " You shall love your neighbor as yourself ," you do well; 9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.”

James 4:13-15 “Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, " If the Lord wills , we shall live and do this or that ."

Philippians 4:11 “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am , to be content :”

 

Is God first in worship attendance, study, devotion, and prayer? Or do we hunger and thirst for something else?

 

Be Filled With Righteousness!
