WEALTH & GREED
People are so concerned about sharing Obama's redistribution of wealth and they fall into the trap that GOD has warned us about. God is all things----He made us tall or short---He made the color we are---We were born in the country of his choosing and he chose our parents to give birth to us in wedlock or outside of wedlock. Many things we do not know about our future but if you are a "Born Again" Christian we at least know that GOD promised us Eternal Life in his Kingdom where we will never have to be concerned about anything, just praise and worship him and his Son Jesus Christ as our Savior and the ruling King in the new Kingdom.
Wealth----The wealth that GOD talks about in the Holy Scriptures is a wealth of knowledge about him and his Son Jesus Christ to include what we have done to help others save their souls from Eternal Hell. We store up in the storehouse Tithes to the church but we also use a storehouse to keep all of our good deeds that will help Jehovah judge each person.
Material riches, money, silver, gold, expensive paintings that people collect and hoard in bank accounts. In the eyes of God this is greed. We hide or hoard all of this money, while we have people that are poor, those that are homeless, those that can not afford food or medications or basic things of comfort. If we are one of these people than we are a sinner in the eyes of GOD and he will judge us for what we are or could have done to help these folks.
Remember the Disciples when the people thought they were God and brought all of the riches and laid at their feet to pay tribute to them. They immediately ask them to stop---we are mere men not God's--Give the riches to the poor.
GOD warns mankind about swearing to an Oath or making a promise with an intent to deceive or not follow through with the commitment. We will be held accountability for all of our transgressions against our Brothers and Sisters.
God is the Wisdom of the world or we can say that GOD is Wisdom---He knows our thoughts before we think them--he knows our heart---he knows everything about us. He knows if we are rich, poor or in between. If he is priority number one and he is in my book--than we have a commitment to serve or give to him first. His people comes first---The poor is Gods people also and he constantly refers to the poor and the Young Ones--the children. God knows what we need and he gives us what we need to live. Some people have more than others---Greed is taking what is not yours and use it for yourselves. If God wanted you to have those riches--You would have them. God has a purpose for all things---Maybe he makes you rich so he can judge your heart and he will most certainly do that.
BE HAPPY with what God has given you---Remember you could very well have less----Pray in the name of the Lord and he will give you what you need, not what you want. Be thankful if he chooses for you to be poor---Read what he says about a rich person and his chances of reaching GOD in his Kingdom.
