Matthew 19:23
"Then Jesus said to His disciples, "Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
------------
Do you think you are rich? If you say no, compared to what? How do you think our lives stack up against most people in Africa, India, South America? How do you think our lives stack up against 99% of the people Jesus was talking to in his day? Guess what? You are rich compared to most.
This passage is about the man that Jesus told to sell all he had and follow Him. But the man could not because he had much. I think this passage is about anything that can become a stumbling block before God. That stumbling block could be money, but it also could be pride, influence, or intelligence. Be always careful that you don't rely only on your own abilities, but lean on the infinite power and wisdom of God and give him all the credit.
...and don't forget to love God, love others, and use every minute for His glory!
