Selfish Gain!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who say, “Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to selfish gain.”
Many in today’s culture have become very materialistic. For them, life revolves around their possessions and acquiring more.
Psalm 119:33-40 (ESV) ends with a realignment of priorities. Having a heart for God becomes the priority over selfish gain.
“Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes;
and I will keep it to the end.
Give me understanding, that I may keep your law
and observe it with my whole heart.
Lead me in the path of your commandments,
for I delight in it.
Incline my heart to your testimonies,
and not to selfish gain!”
Is time to change focus from selfish accumulation? Remember Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13 say,
“You cannot serve both God and money.”
Rather, incline your heart toward God’s testimonies.
