Let us rely and serve only God, not wealth!

Let us rely and serve only God, not wealth!

 

Jeremiah 51:11-19

 

God is the ‘Lord of hosts’ who created all things and made Israel his own (15-19). He is the King of kings who created all things with power, wisdom, and understanding and still rules the world. Those who make God, the Lord of hosts and King of kings, their portion (possession, inheritance) are the blessed people who enjoy eternal life.

 

Babylon's great wealth cannot prevent its destruction (13,14). You cannot serve both wealth and God. The imperial order that operates through the power of wealth cannot coexist with the kingdom of God that is established through justice and love. A person who makes wealth his god will perish along with it, and a person who relies on wealth will see the end of wealth become his own end. We must live a life that serves only God, not wealth.

 

God, Lord of hosts and King of kings, let us make you our portion (possession, inheritance) and live a life that serves only you, not wealth!
