Do you long for riches?

It seems to me the more we have the more we want. If you own a car and have spare money in your pocket you are in the richest 6% of the world. Riches do not bring happiness or at least not lasting joy. We were meant to worship God and if we are not doing that we are unfulfilled. Jesus said it is very hard for a rich man to go into the kingdom of heaven. The more we possess the more we have to worry about. In Proverbs a wise man wrote,"Give me neither poverty nor riches - feed me with the food allotted to me; lest I be full and deny you and say,"Who is the Lord?" or lest I be poor and steal, and profane the name of my God." Rich people are among the loneliest in the world. How can they trust that a friend is really a friend, when they might be there for what they can get.Put your eyes on Jesus and hold onto your belongings lightly, you may not need them tomorrow.
