Exodus 9, Luke 12, Job 27, 1 Corinthians 13

In Sydney culture that finds value on possessions whether material or mental (mostly speaking for myself), it's easy to get greedy. Just cause I don't hang around some people no more, doesn't mean expensive taste has left me. I have to watch out. I want to be a high school leader is to serve God but there's always been that underlying motivation in which I want to serve myself. I don't want to feel like a freeloader at Cheil, I want to contribute to something so at least I can feel some worth. I need to watch out. Luke 12:14 warns "be on guard again't all kinds of greed." What might start as a genuine commitment to serve God could degenerate into selfish competitiveness and acquisitiveness.

Oh God, help me compare myself to scripture, always. May I fight against complacency and be on guard for you and not myself.
