God owns it all. Do not doubt it. I belong to a church that has some accomplished members. Their accomplishments are recognized by the world and they are compensated. Yippee for the good guys that can accumulate wealth and use it for Kingdom things. They support missionaries carrying the gospel to places far away and local work too. “He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, the wealth in every land.” – Psalm 50:10-12. This is why we work as hard as possible and pray as much as possible. I appreciate people who are successful so, today, I read a bit about Steve Jobs. He is in the category of Elon Musk. I am grateful that God has given me enough intelligence for the challenges in my life. I am very grateful. I’ve read physics books on purpose. Aren’t we a mixed up bunch of interests? Bud Tribble, one of Steve Jobs colleagues, described something called ‘reality distortion field’. He said that Steve Jobs was able to make anything he believed seem possible. That is genius. Hope is genius. Talent is a gift, “On loan from God”, as claimed by the great Rush Limbaugh. Steve Jobs also said, “We’re here to make a dent in the universe”, which Job’s wife said was misunderstood. I think this quote is easy to understand – “Stay hungry – stay foolish”. That goes for you too. Just remember who it all belongs to. Remember John 1:29, “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!'” That is the reason for all of this hope, genius, wealth, and more. May we use our time wisely.
