To Pursue You Rather Than Possessions
Precious Lord,
When you stated that man cannot serve both God and money, you were not issuing us a challenge, but rather a warning. You know the gravity of the warning because you know the powerful pull money can have on our heart. You also know how deceitful our hearts are, which makes it even more dangerous for us to fall for the allure of money and possessions. When we find ourselves drawn to possessions, counter those temptations in us with a spirit of contentment. Steer our focus away from stuff and onto our Savior. Redirect our passion for pursuing possessions toward a deeper desire for you. As we make you our greatest priority, bless our focus by opening the eyes of our hearts to more fully see how truly rich we are in you.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
