The lord shall keep in perfect peace whose mind is focused on him Amen! Forget all the what ifs and start trusting God! Further what people think about you and embrace what God says bout you through his word. Now the challenge is to focus entirely on the word of God in this sinful world

El joven rico se acercó sinceramente a Jesús, queriendo saber cómo obtener la vida eterna. Él era moralmente correcto, obedecía los mandamientos, y parecía tener un buen corazón. Pero Jesús, que conoce el interior de las personas, vio que su verdadera seguridad estaba en sus riquezas. Por eso le pidió algo radical: que vendiera todo, lo diera a los pobres y lo siguiera. No era solo un acto de generosidad, sino una prueba de fe y entrega total. La tristeza del joven muestra que su amor por lo material era más fuerte que su deseo de seguir a Dios. Jesús entonces dijo que es difícil para un rico entrar en el Reino de Dios, no porque las riquezas en sí sean malas, sino porque pueden volverse un ídolo, algo que ocupa el lugar de Dios en el corazón. Él no condenó la riqueza, pero sí advirtió que depender de ella puede alejarnos del verdadero propósito: confiar en Dios y vivir para Él. En resumen, esta historia nos reta a preguntarnos: ¿qué cosa estamos poniendo por encima de Dios? ¿Estaríamos dispuestos a dejarlo todo si Él nos lo pidiera?

The rich young man sincerely approached Jesus, wanting to know how to obtain eternal life. He was morally upright, obeyed the commandments, and seemed to have a good heart. But Jesus, who knows the inner workings of people, saw that his true security lay in his wealth. That is why he asked him to do something radical: to sell everything, give it to the poor, and follow him. It was not just an act of generosity, but a test of faith and total surrender. The young man's sadness shows that his love for material things was stronger than his desire to follow God. Jesus then said that it is difficult for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God, not because wealth itself is bad, but because it can become an idol, something that takes the place of God in the heart. He did not condemn wealth, but he did warn that relying on it can lead us away from the true purpose: to trust in God and live for Him. In summary, this story challenges us to ask ourselves: what are we putting above God? Would we be willing to give it all up if He asked us to?
