It is all too easy to be transformed by our culture rather than by our Savior. “People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.” The Apostle Paul said that. “Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown You and say, “Who is the Lord?” Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.” Agur said that. We need to develop an eternal rather than temporal perspective, seeing beyond space and time into eternity where our blessed hope anchors our soul from the waves of this life, and our true treasure resides incorruptible. I said that. The orphans, widows and homeless need our help more than we need that new toy, the one that’s going to burn anyway. Extrusion through the eye of a needle: Painful? You better believe it! Survivable? Iffy at best! Why choose that path when we can let Christ be our portion, and find our riches in Him. Why indeed!
