Jesus says life is not measured by how much you own...

 Luke 12:15

Then He said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.”

How true is that? Life indeed is not measured by how much you own...something that a lot of people fall into a trap with. They find themselves willing to steal, kill, cheat, bribe and do all sorts of things so that they can have more money and possessions. Indeed, that is being greedy. Remember the bible tells us that the money is not the problem, but how people view it and glorify it, that is the problem. God understands that we have needs, which is why He says seek My kingdom first, and all the other things you need, will be taken care of (According to Matthew 6:33). Thus, one does not have to chase after these things, because when you die, you leave everything here on earth. But if you chase after the kingdom of God, best believe they'll be a reward waiting on you when God calls you back home. This is explained nicely few verses from this verse, in the book of Luke 12, where Jesus made them an example about a farmer who reaped a great harvest of his crop and thought to himself to build a bigger barn to accommodate everything and relax for few years enjoying what he has harvested. However, that very night, he died, all the harvest left behind!

May this serve as a reminder that we must not be greedy, we must not worship money and things but to worship only the one true God. In everything, put Him first, everything else after. He will take care of you, and then you'll enjoy what you get and still make it to heaven (most importantly).
