Counting on Your Wealth

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.
