Everyone is susceptible to greed whether we make twenty-five thousand or twenty-five million dollars a year. We convince ourselves that we deserve a nicer car, bigger house, fancier clothes, and more money. But no matter what amount of money you have, God has blessed you with it so that you can bless others.
There's nothing wrong with excelling in our careers or enjoying nice things. But God also wants us to excel in giving. When we are more concerned with keeping up with the Joneses than living the life God has in store for us, those things become problems in our lives.
Are you caught in the grip of greed and materialism? If so, it will drag you out of the sweet spot of God's success. God wants you to enjoy life. Start today by realizing that everything is from God and life is not just about obtaining things. It's also about excelling in the grace of giving.
"But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving."2 Corinthians 8:7
