Consumed
1 Kings 21
Life can easily consume me with thoughts of, well, me! We covet and do not get, which leads to strife. But the Bible’s teaching helps us to rejoice with others, rather than take from them. We also learn to appreciate the value of work and to not look past others in need. Jesus says: “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Luke 12:15
