A Daily Devotional

Greed, in its many forms and under its many disguises, has spelled doom for persons, families, organizations, and nations. Greed run amok can spell your personal doom. To want what others have, or to want more than others have, puts darkness in your life generating continual unhappiness. The greed to have more or want more material things causes us to do what we would never do without greed. The greed causing us to want more material things can cause us to become insane. We stop greed by doing the opposite of what the satanic powers of greed want us to do. When the satanic powers of greed want us to grab more for ourselves, we must give more of ourselves to others. When the satanic powers of greed attack us by making us afraid of poverty, we must come to Christ to see we have nothing and we are nothing without Him. When we are honest with God about our being tempted by greed, we will see the folly of greed. The satanic power of greed wants us to accumulate more material things�material things all to be given up when we die. Not only can we not keep what greed wants us to accumulate, the mere act of accumulating diminishes our soul and life.
