Greed

The Black Hole

Proverbs 1:18-19
But these people set an ambush for themselves;
they are trying to get themselves killed.
Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money;
it robs them of life.

As you saw in the video, the guy ambushed himself and is stuck in the vault.

Proverbs 21:26
Some people are always greedy for more, but the godly love to give!

Greed is a sin like other sins. It consumes its victim. Before you know it a life is completely taken over trying to get more because it is never enough.

God wants us to be givers not takers. Just like the scripture above says the godly love to give. We all hear the famous saying each year around this time:

"It's better to give than to receive". We can find its roots here:
Acts 20:35
And I have been a constant example of how you can help those in need by working hard. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

We need to follow Jesus and be more Christ like.

So, during this joyous season of Christmas let's be givers; not just takers.
