Ever heard the saying, “You can never have too much of a
good thing”? Well, that’s not true. Sorry. It’s actually a pretty easy trap to
fall into. The Gospel this Sunday is the famous story of the rich man whom
Jesus told to sell of his belongings. Jesus went on to say how difficult it is
for the rich to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
We have varying degrees of monetary riches; however, we all
have a wealth of riches that can seem like great things, but can still lead us
away from God—social media, friends, sports, school, food, and yes, money too.
If we’re not careful, our priorities can get out of order and something that
was good has now replaced God, which is not good. If you’re allowing your
happiness to be determined by something that can be lost or taken away, you’re
putting it in the wrong place.
