Utterly impossible

Utterly impossible

Matt. 19:24

Again I tell you,

it is easier for a CAMEL TO GO THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE [the utter impossibility of the effort to squeeze the former through the latter]
than for a rich man [one who loves his resources/possessions, puts his trust in them and excessively desires them above all else]

to go into the kingdom of heaven. [for God requires to be first in our love, trust and desires]

Pray the Word:

Lord, over time we’ve heard that wealth and prosperity were a sign of Your blessing – and, then, on the other hand, we’ve heard the opposite portraying them as a hindrance to salvation—which they can be—but so can many other things. Because we live in a consumer-driven society and this life that requires such emphasis on money – we need to be reminded that, while money and resources are necessary and our ambitions and desires may be honorable  .   .   .  it’s UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE and useless to try through our own efforts alone to save ourselves - it is from Your mercy and grace alone.
