Do you have affluenza? The symptoms include a relentless struggle for power, success, privilege, and money. Once you catch it, you neglect your family, spend endless hours at work trying to climb the corporate ladder, to impress the boss, and earn your personal key to the executive bathroom! You buy into the myth that you’ll be happy only when you: (a) associate with the right people (b) drive a costly car (c) live in one of the more affluent suburbs. But like a hamster running on a wheel, you never actually get anywhere, because ‘Wanting more is useless - like chasing the wind’. So, what’s the cure? Listen: ‘If we have enough, let us be content. But people who long to be rich are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is at the root of all kinds of evil. And some craving money, have wandered from the faith. Pursue a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. Tell those who are rich not to trust in their money, which will soon be gone. But their trust should be in the living God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future’’ (1 Timothy 6:8-19 NLT). Contentment is destroyed by comparison - always! That’s why God says, ‘Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have’’ (Hebrews 13:5).
