Everything You Know is Wrong
Wealth. Possessions. Food. Laughter. Popularity. We strive for these things because we see them as being fundamentally necessary for a happy life. Almost every man, woman, and child who has ever walked the earth has believed this, and everything that we experience in our lives seems to reinforce this. Roughly two thousand years ago Jesus Christ stood up in front of His followers and turned this worldview completely upside-down. He said that those who lacked these things were the ones who had it good, and the ones who had these things in abundance were headed for disaster. At first, second, and third glance this makes absolutely no sense but it is rock-solid truth. While money, food, and the approval of others can make us temporarily happy, they are temporary and can be taken from us in a heartbeat. Not only that, we also turn them into idols and they distract us from the most important thing in the universe, God. Those who lack such basic things are the ones that are blessed because it helps them to see just how much they need God, and just how much more valuable He is than the things they lack.

Where Are Your Riches? - The 10th Command
Godliness with contentment… Are you godly? What is it to be content? What is your personal definition of "riches". There are only two things that I can think of that will last for eternity: 1) Our relationship with Jesus Christ 2) Our relationships with each other (Family, Friends, Believers and the unsaved) How should we live our lives? 1) Love God with all our hearts 2) Seek first the Kingdom of heaven 3) Love your neighbor as your self Do you apply these to how you shop, how you work, what you read, what you watch and how you spend your time? If you will begin to honestly evaluate your life on these three principles, God will show you where to make changes that will truly bring LIFE! If we will strive to apply these three things to every aspect of our lives and frame everything we do around them, we will find what are really TRUE RICHES!!!
