Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. —Luke 12:15
Another version of mine: Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
Truly, this maybe sad for certain people in the world, yet, we must understand that money isn't really matter in our life journey.Of course, it does matter in our dail life but we can't set it as our first prior in life. Nowadays, people are just figuring the ways to earn tonnes of money, slowly, they indulge in buying lotteries(15 million!!! :P) or even gamble. This is riduculous!!! Human will never get satisfied for what he has owned. They will tend to ask for more. Yes, They will keep on working hard in the office till late hours. They miss their family hours which seriously jeorpadize the whole intimacy among their family.
There's a quote which I really, really like. It sounds like this:
What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26)
Yes, we must turn our richness into generousity. In other words, we actually use our fortunes ro help others, Isn't that great when you really think about it? Others might really need your help sometime, and you just turn down their hopes. Put yourself into their shoes. You will certainly discover the truths of life.
Besides, we should not turn ourselves from God just because of $$$$$$$$$$$. It will be really bad. As a Christian, I realised that we should "go deep" with Jesus, but not asking for deep pockets.
Basically, money isn't the very most important thing in life, yet, it will be our top prior for certain times. Maybe the biotech gang is having this issue right now!!! :P
