Your money or your life?

The mugger offers the man in the alley a choice, “Your money or your life?” It’s an easy decision for the victim, “Take everything I have, but let me live!” If he loved his money he would lose his life. The world is subtly offering us the same choice, but most of the time we choose the money! If you’re not careful, you can slowly trade your vitality for wealth (Pro 1:19). Life is not about material, comfort, luxury, status or power. “You fool! This very night your soul will be required of you!” (Luk 12:20) Lord, free me from the grip of Mammon and help me to seek your kingdom.
