Daily Devotional

The essence of the Christian life is COLLABORATION, not COMPETITION. Why engage in fights with others? A few years from now, we will all have become dust under the ground. Avoid looking down on anyone, as no one can see the future. Imagine workers employed in the morning mocking (or even maltreating) those employed in the evening, not knowing they were no better off.

Think of wealth as a tool to serve God and make life better for others, not as a god or as something requiring your devotion. Be detached from your possessions. Be generous. No matter how little you think you have, always see yourself as a blessing to anyone you meet.

Religiosity without charity amounts to mere lip service before God. It is not enough to keep God’s commandments; we must also ensure that we do not make a god of our material possessions. If we cannot give out what we have, cannot help the less privileged, and do not care about the poor, it simply means the things we have are the gods we worship.
