Roman 1:25 - For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever, Amen.
Observation/Application:
What is it about lust of possession that drives most people into abandoning our honest God. Why is that we feel satisfaction when we gather more possession. Do we not know that possessions simply are materialistic things in life, and regardless how much money you might have with you or in the bank, you cannot take that glory with you when you die. But why is it so hard for so many to see pass that. Why do we lie to ourselves and God and start to worship and honor such a possession over our faithful God.
I experience lost souls and people who lie to themselves and start to worship factious things directly in my family and I hear about it in media. This world has come to such recession and deprivation that people will do anything to get more.
Doesn't God ensure us that through him we will find wealth and wealth will be given to us. I can't say that I can easily give up all my possession to find that ultimate wealth that God will give us. I too become very realistic when it come to that, I wonder at times, if I ever get a calling to mission, God tells me to sell all possession and leave, and trust that he will provide, will I have enough courage to do so, probably not now. However, I don't worship money and other factious figures. Unlike my aunt, uncle and their daughter who are so blindsided by this factious figure “money” that they have gone so far as lying to entire congregation to keep themselves innocent, playing the victim game. They have lied flat out in the house of God. I am unsure what are the rewards for doing so? I feel sympathy and pain to watch and hear them consistently rolling their brains to continue writing this fiction story. But through this my parents have been such an example to me, I really need to be able to apply my heart like there, though they struggle tremendously they are grateful for little things, which are much bigger things to them. To them money and materialistic wealth is temporary relieve, it’s something that God gives today but can disappear into thin air tomorrow. They find deepest in their heart to be content and satisfied with their life, they always say God will reveal all the truth. They are grateful for health, family, being able to sleep in a cozy bed, and having roof over their head. We take these gifts from God for granted. We are such an annoying and greedy babies who is never satisfied and always wanting more and more, and when we get blessing from God we take that and switch around to make it circumstantial effort of my own. Continue to wanting more, and ultimately forget who the giver from the start was. I need to have more faith in God, for he is blessing my life and family, and I need to continue to see that and not gear towards other things that are temptation lust for my eyes, I know I will not find total satisfaction in those circumstances or situation, I will be more of lost soul than I already am. I need to just look straight and look at the ultimate prize God has laid at the finish line and work toward that prize only.
Daily my aunt, uncle and their daughter gives me a reasons and an example which is blessing from God, how my life will be geared if I didn't have God. My life was filled with lies. I know God will show me slowly to let go of the lust of possession and lead and guide me towards life with our Creator. Being a servant of our Creator and finding that total blessing and peace he has for us. I fear for what is to come for aunt, uncle and daughter. They don't see it now but I hope soon or later, they will come to realization, and realize our Creator and such a blessing and wealth he can fill their heart.
