Title: Don’t Be Greedy

Scriptures: Proverbs 30:15-16

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Amazing day with Jesus! Proverbs 30:15-16 says...

15 Greedy people know only two things[c]: “Give me,” and “Give me.” There are three other things that are never satisfied—really, four things that never have enough: 16 the place of death, a woman with no children, dry ground that needs rain, and a fire that will never stop by itself.

I want to focus on the first verse mentioned, the Bible says that greedy people know only two things, "Give me" and "Give me". Most of the time, people think that greedy people are people who are already wealthy but are still wanting more.  Although this is one great example to paint what greed looks like, but note that the Word of the Lord says that greedy people are not necessarily wealthy.  Instead the Bible says, greedy people are those who know only 2 things, "give me...give me".  I know people who are poor or those who have only enough who always think of what they can get from others.   These are people who make you feel like it is your duty to share your blessings to them.  Have you met this person?  Maybe once or twice or maybe even until now, you have a few of them in your life.  Or maybe you and I have been guilty of this "give me" attitude in the past or maybe until today?  So it's time to check ourselves, have we become guilty of being greedy?

Happy Freeday!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for a wonderful message.  Thank You for warning me not to become greedy Lord.  I know that I can be guilty of this and I only want to ask or have more of You but not on other things or material things.  Help me Lord not to become a greedy person but instead fill my heart with selflessness and the passion to help and bless others. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
