Guard Against Greed
Guard Against Greed
Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. Ecclesiastes 5:10 NIV
Greed comes in many forms. Greed for approval. Greed for applause. Greed for status. Greed for the best office, the fastest car, the prettiest date. Greed has many faces, but speaks one language: the language of more. Epicurus noted, “Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.” And what was that obvservation of John D. Rockefeller’s? He asked, “How much money does it take to satisfy a man?” He answered, “Just a little more.” Wise was the one who wrote, “Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income” (Eccles. 5:10 NIV)
Greed has a growling stomach. Feed it, and you risk more then budget-busting debt. You risk losing purpose.
