NOTHING ABSOLUTE

They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be an unclean thing. Their silver and gold will not be able to save them in the day of the Lord's wrath. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it, for it has made them stumble into sin. - Ezekiel 7:19

everyone desires to be rich. nothing wrong with that.
but sometimes riches causes us to stumble into sin.

sometimes,
riches seem to solve our problems;
- we turn less to God.

riches seem to empower us;
- we rely less on God.

riches seem to give us joy;
- we seek less of God.

} riches lower our dependence on God.


an intended blessing could cripple us if we let it disillusion us.
come back to the fact that God is LORD of all.
