Riches

11-21-2014    Mark 10:23-27
S.       23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? 27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
O.      Riches are deceitful and make it difficult to live in faith.
A.      I labor for gain and increase. I have wanted more and more wealth, so life could be easy and my family could excel. This lesson is deep and strikes to the very core.

P.       Father; teach me to trust, to trust you for everything that I need and to be satisfied!  Amen.
