Counting on Your Wealth
Listen
Transcript:
Let us be intentional about pursuing God every single moment of our day. If we are not intentional in pursuing Him, we do not grow in faith and fail to understand Him. In this context, the Apostle speaks to people who have placed their refuge in their material possessions and wealth and tells them to weep and groan for all the troubles ahead. The well – settled have lesser concerns but the Apostle says, that they are supposed to weep as their wealth is rotting away. The wealth that you are counting upon will eat away in your flesh.
The reason why the wealth would ruin the flesh is because they are relying on it. When you lean upon your materialistic possessions beyond what you should do, it has an ability in which it begins destroying you. The love of money is the root of evil. It tends to have an impact on every aspect of your life. It is going to turn against you. The way you use your money is ungodly.
We have to evaluate our earning, giving and how we use our money. We must evaluate of how we tend to behave with people who have more money and less money. When we invest it in heaven, there is an eternal benefit for the physical and temporary currencies. But, when you invest it in the world to have a physical benefit right now it does not carry an eternal benefit.
Let us evaluate our thoughts and how we are functioning with our finances.

Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Healing and Bandaging
Psalms 147:2-3 (GNB)
“The LORD is restoring Jerusalem; he is bringing back the exiles. He heals the broken-hearted and bandages their wounds.”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
