Is "More" the "New" life mantra?

We are in this mad urge of getting rich. We are oblivious to the fact that we are already rich the way God has created us. The truth is we are rich no matter where we stand on the economy scale. That’s not the case everywhere. And it certainly hasn’t been the case throughout history. What’s more, there are households of three, four, or more people where there is a single earning member. And with that one person’s earnings, the entire family can amass sufficient money for food and shelter for the entire family throughout the month. In many cultures, that’s inconceivable and for most people it's a luxury. In another side of the world majority of the family members, which sometimes includes children, are also forced to work, yet lack basic needs.

When you’re hungry and thirsty, "more" simply means food and water. That’s certainly understandable. But once you are to fed and hydrated, more graduates to basic safety and security. Let me emphasize “There are some things money can’t buy.” It can neither buy the priceless things in life nor can it buy hope. There’s no amount of money that can guarantee you hope in any or all circumstances.

 And that tells us that God has designed the creation model this way so that we all understand that materials and commodities cannot replace the needs of our heart. The wisest king Solomon goes on to paint a rather grim picture of what can happen when our hope migrates. In fact, the writer concludes that he would rather not be rich so as to avoid this threat. He says, “Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord God?’.

Money in almost all the countries are losing its value and worth. Banks are no more a safe option.  How are we going to face a situation like this? It's a clarion call for us to humbly acknowledge that God who is the creator does not become powerless because of the mess we humans have created. We can still reach out to Him and be sheltered under His divine protection. God in the Bible states, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.".
