Wealth and honor come from you … We give you thanks, and praise your glorious name … Everything comes from you” (1
Chronicles 29:12-14, NIV).
In the spirit of my recent public speaking success, I’m reminded to always give thanks to God for making it happen.
Wealth, fame, respect from society, can be addicting because humans never feel they have enough. In economics, we call this phenomenon, scarcity, which can lead to greed.
Greed is inherent in every human but out of moral obligation, we learn to curb most of our animalistic impulses. In order to combat against greed, we praise God for the material and spiritual things He has given to us.
Make room in your heart to be spiritually satisfied because materialism is only temporary and ceases to exist when you run out of money.
