Evening: Psalm 136; Luke 16:10-17
Jesus is clear: “You cannot serve God and wealth.” Our society chooses to serve wealth when it is obsessed with economic growth and prosperity. What’s wrong with prosperity? Nothing at all if it serves people. Yet, when you become enslaved to achieving wealth and your life’s priorities are focused on that, you may end up serving wealth instead of serving God. To serve God is to ‘do justice, love kindness and walk humbly’. Those priorities may not fit with what happens when you make wealth your principal goal ... Justice, kindness and humility can so easily go out the window.
