–
In Matthew 19 a wealthy man wants to enter the kingdom and in response to Jesus’ questions he claims he has kept every commandment
–
Jesus said ok then sell all you have. At that point the man gets sad. His MOTIVES ARE REVEALED in that moment
–
For YEARS I misinterpreted this text to mean wealth was a bad thing. What the word is saying is don’t make wealth an idol
–
And how do we know we’ve made it an idol?
–
When our GRIP is TIGHTER FOR THINGS THAN FOR GODS WORD GODS WILL OR GODS WAY
–
Lord I want my motives to be to serve you. My pursuit for anything in this world is secondary to my pursuit for more of YOU GOD.
–
Today I place my motives on the altar. Lord show me where they’re not aligned to your will or your way.
–
Will you join me and place your motives on the altar?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
