People, despite their wealth, do not endure;
they are like the beasts that perish. Psalm 49:12
Do you sometimes sit around and wish you were wealthy monetarily? This week I saw a story about a woman who had been arrested for stealing over $320,000 in Lego. I assume this individual was doing this to increase her wealth by trying to sell the Lego sets. The question is, how do you define wealth? Do you define it as the world defines it as a great quantity of money or valuable possessions? Or do you define it in a way that focuses less on material possessions, but more on something of intrinsic value? I look at my life and I am truly blessed in many ways, but the area I tend to focus less on is the true wealth that my family provides me. I keep hoping that God will guide me in the path to focus on this wealth. This also makes me think of the wealth we have in our Father in Heaven. The wealth we receive from the sacrifice of His son, is worth more than any gold, car, house, bitcoin, or Lego set. We need to shift our focus of where our wealth comes from, and focus on how we can share our wealth with others with building blocks that can secure our future in Heaven.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
