Thought for Tuesday August 22


It is I who deal death and give life.
Close at hand is the day of their disaster,
and their doom is rushing upon them!
Surely, the LORD shall do justice for his people;
on his servants he shall have pity.
It is I who deal death and give life.

Matthew 19: 23 – 30  Jesus said to his disciples: "Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God."

Why does being rich make it hard to enter the Kingdom of heaven?  Am I too rich?

Action:  Share some of your riches – time, talent, strength, money, faith – with someone who is not as well off.
