Woe to you who focus on accumulating stuff yet
ignore the people around you with real needs.
You miss out on the blessings that accompany following God’s priorities.
Woe to you who focus on indulgence and instant
gratification, choosing immediate pleasure over lasting joy and hope. You miss out on the blessing of seeing God at
work; He’s working, you’re just too distracted to see it.
Woe to you who have concluded the end justifies
the means, living by lies, trampling over others and promoting sin to get what
you want. You miss out on the blessings
that come from waiting on the Lord and seeing His plans fulfilled.
Woe to you who turn evil on its head, calling
darkness light and wickedness good, all in an effort to downplay sin. You miss out on the blessings that accompany
truth and light.
Woe to you who focus on your own intelligence,
depending on your wits to help you succeed and placing all your hope in clever
plots. You miss out on the blessings of
humility and dependence.
Woe to you who look to man’s provision and man’s
capabilities looking only for results while ignoring character and
integrity. You miss out on what is
lasting – the growth of a soul that lives for eternity.
