Sell all that you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have
treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." (Luke 18:22
NRSV)
Our world is materially rich. We are a prosperous people. People have their houses filled with
toys of every kind. The stock market has reached new heights. New millionaires are created
every day. We personally may not feel very rich, but as a people, we are. We are so rich that it
has become a spiritual problem. Money has begun to obscure some of our more important values.
There is nothing wrong with having material possessions, unless they become a stumbling block to
our relationship with God. Just ask the rich young ruler.
Dear God, wow, you have blessed me with many good things. May I never let
the things of this world keep me from your world. In Jesus' name, Amen.
