“4 Why do you boast of your valleys,O faithless daughter, who trusted in her treasures, saying, ‘Who will come against me?’” ~ Jeremiah 49:4
Often times, when our Earthly possessions multiply, so does our pride. We become haughty and filled with arrogance. We no longer put our trust in God, but in our new idol, material possessions. What we own doesn’t make us stronger, more of a man or woman, smarter or wiser.
Having possessions aren’t the problem; it’s when we no longer lean on God but lean on our possessions instead. At the end of the day, they can’t save you, they can’t hear you, they can’t see you. They may be able to protect you for a short time, but the inevitable downfall is coming, and nothing you own can save from it. Pride leads you down the path of destruction.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Trust in God.
