Todays Chapter Reading: Ecclesiastes 5

Focus Text: Ecclesiastes 5:10 NIV

Whoever   loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their   income. This too is meaningless

Devotional Thought: GREED AND GLUTTONY

There is an evil that can come from the unsatisfied heart. A corruption that does not know when enough is enough. This is the heart driven by Greed or Gluttony.

Now both Greed and Gluttony are very similar in principle, but different in application. Gluttony normally refers to one's lack of self control to food or drink, where as Greed is one's excessive desire for money and material wealth; both are a form of idolatry. In one case we have turn food into our god, and in the other, we worship the things of the world we desire to obtain. But at the very end of the road, we become one whom was willing to try and gain the fruits and treasures of the world, in exchange for our soul. This brings us to the story of Ananias and Sapphira found in the book of Acts chapter 5.
