What Would It Profit A Man/Woman?

[Rev. Wanda]

Recently, I have been finding myself looking around at the wealth of the world. Maybe it's the economic crisis or the appearance of recession by so many. Yet, I am watching the rich and famous, the worldly living, and the opulent continue to move forward in their accumulation of more and more and more. What I am reminded of it that what I see is not what really is. Wealth cannot soothe the screaming in our souls, it cannot deliver us from addictions and it cannot make us love one another, money cannot fill the void of a missing or lost loved one, and it cannot deliver us from a bed of affliction. The peace that money brings is short lived if it comes with bitter hatred, strife and confusion. God had to remind me this week that the balance of all that I see is that I know it is my spiritual yearning that questions the wealth of the wicked and maybe because there seems to be so many things in my life that money can answer. I know that I don't have to trade Jesus for wealth and I am content in that. As a matter of fact, on this week, I was reminded that Godliness with contentment is great gain. I know that my redeemer lives and all my needs will be supplied according to his riches in glory.


I wanted to take a minute and encourage myself. I pray I encouraged someone else.
