GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE

"How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!" —Mark 10:23

"You cannot give yourself to God and money" (Mt 6:24). Although few admit
it, money is God's greatest competition, that thing which we are most
tempted to put ahead of God. Money is the means to pleasure and a life of
self-satisfaction. Money facilitates worship of self.

Consequently, many young rich men and women continue to walk sadly away
from Jesus (Mk 10:22). Like Judas, many commonly sell Jesus for a few
pieces of silver (Mt 26:15) or even for the petty pleasures that money can
buy. For example, Esau sold out for just a bowl of red soup (Gn 25:30-31).

"The love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Tm 6:10). It all comes down
to God or money, lifestyle, and self. We must consider "riches nothing in
comparison" with God (Wis 7:8) and consider God's word "more precious than
thousands of gold and silver pieces" (Ps 119:72). We must "put aside
everything to follow" Jesus (Mk 10:28).

Prayer: Jesus, I choose You over pleasure.

Promise: "God's word is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged
sword. It penetrates and divides soul and spirit." —Heb 4:12

Praise: Praise the risen Jesus, Who gave His all for the incomparable
treasure of our salvation. Alleluia!
