Consequences of Greed
Proverbs 28:25 (NIV) – “A greedy man stirs up dissension, but he who trusts in the Lord will prosper.”
Greed is powerful. It can transform even the most quiet and reserved person. We live in a society where we all have to “one up” someone. If our neighbor has a luxury car, we have to buy a luxury SUV. If our neighbor installs a pool, we have to have a pool and a hot tub. There is a mentality that we have to have certain things in life.
God tells us in this scripture that a greedy man causes dissension (also means discord), but those who trust in God will prosper.
When we become greedy and lust after things, we step away from the will of God.
Prayer:
“God, help me as I go through my daily life to be pure of heart and free of greed. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice for me, and your constant forgiveness. I know without you I would be lost. Amen.”
