The Gains of Greed:
So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; it takes away the life of its owners. Proverbs 1:19 NKJV
Greed = intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.
Intensity is a great attribute when applied to the right pursuit and cause. However, when we become intense about fulfilling selfish desires it can turn into a destructive endeavor. The book of Proverbs is what we consider wisdom literature. If we want to make decisions that ultimately benefit us then consulting this book will have some nuggets to nudge you in the right direction.
There have been times in my life when I put hunting above absolutely everything and everyone. I would pursue it at all costs. There is a great line in the show 1883, the main character Elsa, talking about how much she loved the land came to the conclusion that “no matter how much you love it, it will never love you back.” This is an important lesson for all of us to truly understand. No matter how much you love (fill in the blank) It will never love you back. Power will never love you back, money will never love you back, hunting will never love you back. Proverbs informs us that selfish desire for something will ultimately do nothing but rob you of your life.
Here’s my challenge for you today: Take a few minutes and think, is there something in your life that you love at an unhealthy level? That can be different for each of us, but you know deep down if you are overboard and I believe the Holy Spirit is showing you something as you read this. Maybe hunting is damaging your family because you are always absent. Maybe you are consumed by alcohol or drugs. Maybe you are destroying yourself with po*******hy. Maybe you are destroying yourself with the pursuit of a career and power at all costs. You have a choice. Will you continue on the way you are going or will you repent. I want to challenge you to start investing your life in things that can love you back. Things that give life not take it away. Remember: No matter how much you love a thing, it can never love you back.
