Materialism

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

As you think of provision abundant,
Do you thank the Provider omnipotent,
do the things he has sent
grip your heart to prevent
yourpraising the Giver important?

For all your belongings and money
can't give your heart rest when you’re lonely,
cannot take your soul on
when your time here is gone:
without God, satisfaction is phoney.

So at least give some thought to such matters
when weary of boastful go-getters,
for our life’s more than food,
seek the One who is good,
who can help when your hopes lie in tatters.

'Whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. … Be on your guard against all types of greed … “This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?” This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich towards God. … Life is more than food.' Luke 12:8, 15, 20,21,23
