I want to be rich now! That is what I want for Christmas. However not just for Christmas but beyond. The Bible says seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Therefore, why should I not desire to be rich. Jesus left His rich life, came to earth to be poor so that I can become rich. I therefore, think it is mine to ask for. I am quite certain a lot of people would agree with me.
When I get my gift of 'richness', there are many things I could do with it. The Bible speaks a lot of good works. Jesus did a lot of good works when He was here on earth. He led by example. Therefore, who can do good works? Anybody. However if you have the money to do the good works with, it makes things a lot easier. Money answereth all things but the love of money is the root of all evil. Two more very good quotes from the Bible. Therefore I want to be rich today, so that I can do as much good works as possible to advance the kingdom of God.
Now who am I kidding! I have avoided what I know many of you were waiting to hear me say first. You would have said it first. I want to be rich now so that my family can live a decent life. Yes, we all love our families and if we do not have a family that is good as well. We all deserve to live a decent life. We are all people who can do good works. There are many charity organisations looking for people who can do good works and are willing to help. So, therefore, if we do not have an immediate family, we have an extended one. A God given one.
There are children going through hard times in this world. My heart goes out to them. It is not that I do not think about the adults as well but the children have a special place in my heart. How can I help if I do not have the money to help? It takes money to buy food, clothes and shelter. Therefore I will not apologise for saying I want to be rich today.
I pray that as you read this blog, that you do not know of any children going through hard times. I pray that you do not know of any adults going through a hard time. Let us pray that we can be rich today so that we can help the poor and needy. Let us seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness so that all things including riches will be added unto us. I want to be rich now. That is what I want for Christmas.
