Devotional: Rich toward God

 Day 2 – Life ≠ Stuff

Scripture: Luke 12:15 / Psalm 49:1–11

Focus: “Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” (Luke 12:15)

Observation:

Jesus and the psalmist both challenge the lie that wealth equals life. Psalm 49 reminds us that no one can redeem a soul with riches. Possessions give the illusion of permanence, but they cannot protect us from death or secure eternal worth.

Jesus redefines success: not by what we own, but by how we live in light of eternity.

Challenge:

Look at where you’re investing your time, energy, and finances. What story are those investments telling about what you value most? Make one intentional decision today that reflects kingdom priorities over earthly ones.

Prayer:

Father, free me from the lie that my worth is based on wealth or status. Remind me that my life is found in You alone. Amen.
