This passage expounds on having true riches versus being greedy. Confessing our sins and receiving mercy is the greatest treasure we could ever have. When we trust in Jesus as our Lord and Savior, his holy blood pays a ransom for our sins and takes away the burden of our sins. We taste freedom, joy, peace, love, hope, and God’s kingdom, which is forever. We are truly rich people.

Greedy and stingy people who only want to get rich in this life will stumble and fall. They are despicable and would even rob their own parents. They are cruel and hate justice. Their greed makes them crooked, and they follow worthless pursuits. They are truly impoverished. Such greedy people bring about every kind of strife in this world.

But the one who trusts in the Lord is truly enriched. They can walk in the ways of the Lord, have wisdom for their lives, and be delivered from all kinds of pitfalls, temptations, and sins. Moreover, they know how to be generous to the poor. How much God blesses us in return!
Application: Father, thank you for enriching my life through Jesus. Please help me trust in you, be a generous person, and give to the poor.
One Word: The one who trusts in the Lord will be blessed with true riches
