So true, that even Christians are tempted by the ways of the world, hoping to become spiritual without individual study, prayer and meditation.<br />Thanks as always for sharing your insights, and God bless,<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-37199512682367958212019-11-12T11:09:23.729-08:002019-11-12T11:09:23.729-08:00Great post, Laurie.

It is not money that brings happiness when we disregard God's ways, it is the other way around. It is God Who brings happiness when we disregard the worlds ways. God bless you Laurie for sharing the truth.

In the end, only God's opinion matters. Many eat and drink in excess and are merry when they should fear God's judgment, which can come much sooner than they expect.<br />Thanks as always for your insightful comment, and God bless,<br />Laurie Laurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-54136429973236087232019-11-10T08:29:50.786-08:002019-11-10T08:29:50.786-08:00Dear Laurie,

Instead of thinking of the hungry and the poor around him, all he can think about is eating, drinking and being merry, as selling such crops when its prices rise will give him a life-long financial security.<br />The worst thing which could ever happen to any human is to be called a fool by God, and to be called to judgement much sooner than this rich man would have ever expected.<br />A thought-provoking blog, God bless.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Frank E.
