GREED CAUSES FIGHTING

Proverbs 28:25
Greed causes fighting; trusting the LORD leads to prosperity.
There's a story I'd once read about a powerful lion and a wild donkey that went hunting together. When they had caught their prey, the lion divided it into three shares and said, “I will take the first share because as king I hold the highest rank; and the second share is mine too, as your equal partner. If you want some serious trouble, you can try to take the third share or you can choose to make yourself scarce.” People really aren't all that different. People like to have control, particularly over material goods because of human greed. However, it’s just not worth it in the long run. After all, you can't take it with you beyond the grave. Make sure that you place your trust in the Lord alone because peace and prosperity can only truly come from Him.
