GOD SATISFIES MY NEED NOT MY GREED

Human beings were commissioned by God Himself to attend to the earth.  Instead we have attacked the earth and robbed it of all it has in order to satisfy our greed that we disguise as need.  God promise to provide for all our needs but not to satisfy our greed.  So we took things into our own hands and developed and developed a world of technology that is now attacking not only the earth, but has turned on its maker and will eventually rob and destroy us.

Compare the creatures of the earth to humans and one can clearly see human beings are out of order with the original idea of creation.  Human beings are not satisfied with life itself.  The basics of food, water, and shelter are not enough.  Simply living in the beauty of God’s Presence and with one another is not enough.  The demand is for more stuff and so we take it upon ourselves to manufacture more, at the expense of everything we have been freely given.

We are not content with the freely flowing fountain of living water.  We build our own cisterns and fill them with stuff that we think makes us happy.  But the cisterns break so we build more and continue to try and fulfill our greed.  The result is full hands but empty souls.  We destroy in order to build and eventually we will end up with nothing but destruction all around us.
