The Empty Pursuit of More

Greed.

It wears like an invisible cloak, blending seamlessly into the fabric of modern culture. It silently seeps into our desires, clouds our judgment, and distorts our values. Greed always seeks moreā€”more validation, more status, more comfort, more things. 

But the irony of greed is this: the more earthly possessions, status, or validation we gain, the more we are left dissatisfied. 

In Luke 12:15, Jesus warns how this illusion of fulfillment through relentlessly collecting more blinds us to true contentment and purpose and is an empty pursuit:

ā€œThen he said to them, 'Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.'ā€

True fulfillment doesnā€™t happen when we store up possessions or pursue unending comfort. True fulfillment is found when weā€™re anchored in contentment, gratitude, and a deep relationship with God that leads to seeking His kingdom and righteousness (Luke 12:31).

Where do you have an endless craving for moreā€”more validation, more comfort, more possessions? Are there areas of your life where the constant pursuit of more might be overshadowing the pursuit of Godā€™s kingdom and His righteousness?
