Greed, Need and Judgment

Is it possible to be Jesus' disciple, on his terms, and still be level headed in my pursuit of worldly possessions that are not compromising my value system. I seek Jesus for guidelines and instructions on how to live productively in this creative divine tension of a world. How do I serve God and not man, while still trying to make a living?Put God first. Seek Him first and all other things will be given unto you. Lord I must always put you first in my pursuit of anything. It is not only the rich who have to be concerned with storing up goods, the poor and middle class have to exercise caution too. We have to balance the reality of the situation. We cannot serve two masters. We will love one and despise the other. We are here to do God's will. God will provide for us. God never wanted us to lack.We must balance need with greed. How much is too much? He knows our needs just as he knows the raven and the birds of the air have needs. How we prioritize our needs according to God is important. We must not worry about how we are going to make it. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone. I love you.


Luke 15:22-26

22And he said to his disciples, (A) "Therefore I tell you,(B) do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. 24(C) Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them.(D) Of how much more value are you than the birds! 25And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his(E) span of life?[a] 26If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?
