"So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof."
Proverbs 1:19
This is an interesting idea... that greed destroys life. Perhaps it is because when we are focused on gain, or perhaps other things that we value too highly, we are focused on that to the exclusion of other, more important, things. Greed can displace friends, family, and even God in our lives... and things that we treat like that naturally become our modern-day idols. We don't usually think of them as objects of worship, but that is the place they take in our lives.
Today, let's eschew greed, and embrace Christ, and the ideals that he demonstrated for us of selflessness, generosity, mercy, and love. Let's try to walk his higher path and pray for help when we falter. :)
