Many people suffer from allergies,often there are warnings on certain food
products,that the food one is buying ,may contain nuts.My sister in law is allergic to certain green vegetables,some of these allergies can have serious consequences.I was surprised to hear of a person who was allergic to gold,
if only more of us were allergic to gold,one of the James Bond movies was called gold finger,one of the main characters in the movie,was addicted to gold.
People have murdered for gold,there is a famous fairy tale about a king
who desired gold,one day he was granted a wish,every thing he touched would turn to gold. It was for him a dream come true,until he touched his beloved daughter,and the dream became an nightmare.
Recently the price of gold has rocketed,with the result brokers were wanting to buy peoples gold.On a recent holiday I met a lady who wanted to
place a time capsule ,in a certain place,so she put gold items within it,things
that were of great value.This lady made light of this,stating that there where more important things even than gold.
This ladies attitude challenged me,as to whats most important in my life,
gold ,money,sport,I belong to a kingdom ,the kingdom of God. As a citizen
of that kingdom, then I am called to have kingdom values,which are so
different from the kingdom of man.
Jesus said to a disciple,lovest thou Me more than these?,[John 21 v15 ],what is my answer to that question?, what is your answer?.
A prayer.
Dear God help us to live and keep Your kingdoms values always first in our
lives in Jesus name Amen
