“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs,
but not every man's greed.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
Scripture
But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we
brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we
have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get
rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires
that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a
root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the
faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:6-10 NIV

DUST TO DUST

What will you gain?
What will you earn?
What is your claim?
From dust we come
And dust we return.
If I loved wealth
I'd find the root of evil.
If I lust for power
I'd lose my soul.
If I sought fame
I'd be a thief
Of all Your Honor
Honor, Glory, and Praise.
Hollow and hopeless and cold
Is value in fame and in gold.
The truest of treasures
Is to be found within His fold.
Oh how lost I would be
If my faith unwound.
(And I lost the Lord)
Oh how empty my soul
Would ever be found.
(If I gained the world)
If you're seeking after treasures
Designed by human hands
You'll come and find to realize
Your soul it demands.
If I loved wealth
I'd find the root of evil.
If I lust for power
I'd lose my soul.
If I sought fame
I'd be a thief
Of all Your Honor
Honor, Glory, and Praise.
What is your wealth?
What is your fame?
What is your goal?
If you gain the world
But lose your soul?
Oh how lost I would be
If my faith unwound.
(And I lost the Lord)
Oh how empty my soul
Would ever be found.
(If I gained the world)
The joy in knowing
I'm blood bought by the King.
My truest treasure is
I'll know my King!
Know my King!
Sentence
Prayer
“Dear God, please deliver me from the sin of greed—constantly
wanting more of what I don’t need. Instead, help me to be a giver to others and
not just a taker from them. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer.
Gratefully, in Jesus’ name, amen.” http://www.actsweb.org/articles/article.php?i=1682&d=2&c=13
