Covetousness is the desire to have something that belongs to another person. God tells us to beware of covetousness. Because of this sin, many people have been kept from coming to Christ for salvation. The rich man desired to have so much that he left God out of his life completely. God called him “fool,” because he provided only for this life and forgot about eternity.
Did you know that God cares for the birds of the air, the beasts of the earth and the flowers of the field? If you were to examine the glory of the lily under a microscope, you would find God’s intricate handiwork. If He has such care for beautiful flowers, will He not rather take care of boys and girls who are much more precious in His eyes?
The Lord Jesus wants us to be ready and watching for His return. Those who are not ready will be left behind for judgment. They should have known that God wanted to be their Saviour, not their Judge.
By looking in the sky and studying clouds and wind patterns, men can predict the weather. Can we tell by conditions in the world that things are getting worse and worse? (See 2 Timothy 3:1313But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13).)
