Get the appFace to Face With Jesus - a Lenten MeditationSample
The rich and the kingdom of God are a God-sized conundrum. With all their possessions, is there no need for the intervention or providence that God brings? Being rich by the standards of the world doesn’t equal being rich in the Kingdom of God. This means that every wealthy person has to come to a place where they realise all that they have is from God, and that they have been blessed to be a blessing. All that we have is from God, even the ability to grow our wealth, to earn and store up, are all blessings from Him. When we divorce God from our understanding of wealth, therein lies the problem. Selfish ambition, greed, hoarding and pride are a few of the sins that would creep in.
Jesus never said that money was bad. He said that the “love of money” was the root cause of evil. He taught much on the principle of not storing up treasure on earth but in heaven. One way we can do that is to be conscious about being generous with what we are blessed with. The needy and the less fortunate are all around us. It’s time that we find a way to be a blessing to them.
Questions to ask yourself
Do I consider myself wealthy by the standards of the world or the Kingdom of God?
Who can I bless today?
