More isn’t enough!
If we look at where most of the worlds, problems and grief come from, one emotion would be paramount; the want for more! It drives business, advertising, government, sports, politics, and even our everyday life!
The desire for improvement is built into our physic-nature by God
when we were born… It was designed to allow us to seek better things in
our life! The problem comes when we become Greedy and driven by the
desires to have even More!
This all started Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden; when they
listened to the Devil, tell them that what they needed was more, and
they fell for it! But more what?
What could the Devil promise them or get for them?
They lived in
Paradise, perfect weather, no storms, just right temperature, food
available for the taking as much as they wanted… Did not have to worry
about cloths or shoes, or money, or riches, or houses, or any of the
stuff we worry about or deal with! There was no stealing, or war, or
taxes, or laws, or any of those things that impact our life today!
They did not have sin to deal with, because there was no one to
commit sexual| sin with, or to steal from, or to gossip about!
There was
no disease, or natural catastrophe!
i.e. they had everything they
needed!
So how did the Devil temp them into wanting more?
With a lie!
All the Devil could offer was the lie that they needed
more; so then to disobey God and then eat from the “Tree of Knowledge of
Good & Evil” There was this desire for more when they actually had
everything needed for a perfect life… They existed in almost a state
of innocence as children, yet they had the ability and freedom to
choose! Something we all have free choice...
They were offered more! They were told that to eat of the tree,
would not cause death {a major lie} and they would be like unto God,
with knowledge of right and wrong! What they did not realize was that
what they were far better off before they ate the apple or were
disobedience to God!
Thus by believing a lie from Satan {the Father of lies} they entered
into this present human existence full of woes! All of this happened
because of the choice to believe a lie and seek gain more!
This has been the story of humanity throughout history, the drive to
get more… Greed! Which causes people when left without any
boundaries or limits toward wars, disease, suffering, pain, grief and
countless misery!
All because of the desire for more without any consideration for the
consequences! More is not enough!
Find The Faith of God in your
life!
