Jesus said the richest people were those who’d banked a lifetime of actions that honored God. He bluntly told his followers they could not be motivated by love of money and love of God at the same time.
Jesus' message here directly contradicts our culture. Today it seems that money and fame are the prizes most celebrated and coveted. And because being famous and wealthy is only a viral video or a hit song away, it's easy to channel our energy toward the pursuit of popularity, and to admire those who've achieved this kind of success.
Whether it's counting likes on our status updates or dollars in our bank account, Jesus' message is the same: seek a different type of wealth.
The next time you're checking your bank account balance or the number of social media likes you have, ask the Holy Spirit to also help you check your heart, and to turn your attention toward him.

It's through our RIDICULOUS attention to everything Jesus said and did that we discover the truth about God, and the truth about ourselves. We learn everything about God we need to know by slowing WAY down to consider WHAT Jesus actually said and did, WHO He said and did it to, and WHAT the impact of His words and actions had on people. When we let our pursuit of Jesus guide our understanding of God and His story, we are transformed by what we discover.
