All Types of Greed is Searching for The Unaware

We must be on guard against all kinds of greed. It is the love of money, not money in itself that’s evil (1 Timothy 6:10). Many people miss the scripture verse about money being evil, it is the root of all evil once it is unnaturally coveted. Nothing in itself is necessarily evil until mankind gets its demonically influenced hands on it. We must be mindful of the many ways greed can come for us. It can be very subtle in appearance through justification of wanting something you don’t really need, or truly want. That need is more like lust; an uncontrolled inordinate desire. As we meditate in God’s word day and night, we will make our own way prosperous (Joshua 1:8). Having an understanding of God’s word about humility will help hold back and position us to stand against all kinds of greed. It’s not only a greed for money, but other areas of life can be exploited by greed if you’re not aware. The only way to be constantly aware is to be in a daily relationship with the Lord. He gives us new mercies every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), but you must be there to receive it. Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.
