Luke 12:15
Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”
In Luke 12:15, Jesus warns against greed, reminding us that life’s true value isn’t in possessions but in spiritual wealth. This challenges us to prioritize relationships, love, and spiritual growth over material gain. It’s a call to find contentment in the richness of life, not in the accumulation of things.
This teaching encourages us to embrace simplicity and generosity, using our resources to bless others. It’s a reminder that true wealth lies in living a life in harmony with God’s will, focusing on what truly matters beyond material success.
- I can evaluate my priorities to see how much of my time, energy & resources are devoted to the endless puruit of more.
- I can commit to a daily gratitude practice.
- I can repent of my endless desire for more and ask God to renew my desires.
Prayer
Dear God, guard my heart against the endless craving for more. Help me find contentment beyond posessions. Help me to redirect my focus to seek Your kingdom & righteousness above all else. May my life relfect Your purpose & fullfillment. Amen.
