Empty Materialism
Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! — Ecclesiastes 5:10
How much is enough? Solomon observed in Ecclesiastes 5:10 that those who love money will never be satisfied. The pursuit of wealth and material gain often leaves us feeling empty. Why? Because money and possessions can never fill the void in our hearts that only God is meant to occupy.
From Solomon's day to now, this truth hasn't changed.
In a world that constantly pushes us to earn more, buy more, and achieve more, we're tempted to believe that happiness lies just beyond the next purchase or promotion. But Hebrews 13:5 offers a different perspective: "Don't love money; be satisfied with what you have." Why? Because our ultimate security doesn't come from money — it comes from God, who promises, "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you."
Jesus takes this even further in Matthew 6:19-21, where He urges His followers not to store up treasures on earth but in heaven. Earthly possessions are temporary and vulnerable to decay and theft. But when we invest in God's Kingdom — through generosity, service, and love — our treasure becomes eternal.
Will you trust God to provide, or will you place your hope in the fleeting security of material things? Kingdom-centered living means valuing eternal rewards over temporary wealth. Moreover, it is trusting that God's presence is worth more than anything money can buy.
True contentment isn't found in possessions. It is found in God's unfailing presence and provision.
