Our Daily Manna Devotional for 24th June 2020.
A court in South India has sent a couple to jail after finding the husband-wife duo guilty of spending four million Indian Rupees (about 57, 150 dollars) wrongly credited to their bank account. The couple was quoted that they thought it was a “windfall.” They withdrew the money Within a few days and went on a spending spree, including buying a property and they quickly organized their daughter’s wedding.
The money was actually meant for a government bank account belonging to the Public Works Department (PWD) for carrying out some developmental works. It was realized after eight months that the money was wrongly deposited in the couple’s bank account, instead of the government department’s bank account.
Can you beat that? WINDFALL without knowing the source? Could it be the result of “syndicate money-sharing formula gone wrong? Questions! Questions! Questions! But the Holy Ghost lesson is: WALK IN INTEGRITY! Do not take what is not yours! Yours will never elude you! Be content with what you have!
Refuse to live beyond your means! Return missing items! Report cases of wrong done and don’t live in that wrong! Conquer greed and win over extravagance (today’s scripture Vs. 15)! Be simple in all you do because YOU ARE DUST in the final analysis! Hear Idira Gandi – “My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit.
He told me to try to be in the first group; where they have not sown! Then Seneca said: “For a greed all nature is too little.”
Even the whole world is too little for a greedy man or woman! They want 100 worlds! Wow! Erich Fromm, in the book “Escape From Freedom’ wrote: “Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts th4 person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.”
Mahatma Ghandi then threw this bombshell: Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs, but not every man’s greed.” A bomb! Greed is not need! Oh! Close with just this line from Horace: “The covetous man is always in want. Ah! LORD, deliver us from envy and self-pity! Help us to be content with what and where we are while we wait for our appointed ELEVATION season! Deliver us from ourselves! Amen!
