This is the fate of everyone greedy of loot: unlawful gain takes away the life of him who aquires it
Proverbs 1:19
This phrase means that greedy people who had unjust gains will have their lives taken away.
It teaches us that greedy people will eventually be punished.
It tells us try not to gain things in an unjust way just because we want them.
Action steps:
I learned that I shouldn't be greedy or try to get things that I don't need.
I think this is something that we all forget at times. It's so easy in our world to want more and more and more; we need to learn to be satisfied with what we have.
ReplyDeleteAfter I wrote put up this post, I tried not to be greedy. When I get the salad from the salad bar for lunch, I only get reasonable portions so others can have too, and I won't have to waste any food.
ReplyDeleteI hope I can continue this and always remind myself to not to be greedy.
ReplyDeleteGood start John...it's hard sometimes to think of others and what we are taking away from them with our greed! Good action step though.
