Materialism can corrupt us. Let's set our minds on things above...
“By the time Rockefeller died in 1937, his assets equaled 1.5% of America's total economic output.
"To control an equivalent share today would require a net worth of about $340 billion dollars, more than four times that of Bill Gates, currently the world's richest man.” (source)
A man once asked Rockefeller, “How much money is enough?” He replied, “Just a little bit more.” (source)
Wealthy people have a greater temptation to serve money instead of God (Matthew 19:24), but greed affects people in every economic strata (Matthew 6:24).
The only way to overcome this materialistic master is to daily submit ourselves to our heavenly Master.
"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Colossians 3:2
If someone asks us how much is enough time with God in His Word and prayer, we should all respond, “Just a little bit more.”
