You Can Win, And Still Lose
APRIL 18, 2022
Daily Reading – Judges 8-9 / Luke 12:1-35
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
People today buys more and more things. So much so that they rent places apart from home just to store all the extra things. Our closets are full, basements packed, garages flowing over, sheds filled to the roof, and we still think we need more stuff. Then later in life, we downsize. We sell off all those things at a fraction of the purchased price to a younger person who thinks they need it all too. I wonder sometimes if it is not all the same stuff just floating form house to house.
The end of the matter is, when we die, none of that stuff will even matter. Jesus said our real life should not be filled with stuff; our life should be filled with HIM.
