GREEDY FOR GOD

Today's reading: Colossians 3-4

"...Don't be greedy for the good things of this life, for that is idolatry." Colossians 3:5 NLT

God knows us well enough to know that if we aren't greedy for one thing, we will be for another.

It's how we're made.

So, knowing our bent, He gives us a boundary in regards to handling our greedy nature.

I read, in this portion of Scripture, that I can be greedy for God.

I can want all of Him I could possibly hold.

I can think about Him night and day.

I can seek out ways to get more and more, and more and more, of Him.

And He's good with that.

Because a greed like that is beneficial. It's life giving. It's what He truly designed us for.

Nothing this earth offers can overshadow all we have to gain in seeking Him out.

So throw yourself into getting more of the Lord. Go ahead, He wholeheartedly approves of that kind of greed!
