In a culture driven by ambition, competition, and the pursuit of more. Trust Over Greed, it’s easy to believe that success comes from what we can grasp, earn, or control. But God’s Word paints a very different picture—one where peace and prosperity come not through greed, but through trust in the Lord. Proverbs 28:25 reveals this powerful contrast:
📖 “The greedy stir up conflict, but those who trust in the Lord will prosper.” (Proverbs 28:25, NIV)
Greed begins in the heart. It whispers that what we have isn’t enough and that we must do whatever it takes to secure more. Yet this mindset creates tension, fuels jealousy, and distances us from God’s peace.
Those who trust in the Lord, however, experience a deeper kind of prosperity—one rooted in faith, contentment, and divine provision. Trust shifts our focus from striving to surrender, from fear of lack to confidence in God’s abundance.
When our security rests in Him, we no longer need to compete or compare. Instead, we live freely, gratefully, and generously.
Greed breeds conflict – It pits people against each other and steals inner peace.
Trust brings contentment – Faith in God quiets the heart and aligns our desires with His will.
Greed blinds; faith opens – A greedy heart sees scarcity, but trust reveals God’s endless provision.
Trust transforms priorities – It shifts us from acquiring more to appreciating what we already have.
Check your motives – Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any hidden desire for control or excess.
Practice gratitude – Each day, thank God for what He’s provided instead of focusing on what’s missing.
Give generously – Generosity breaks the grip of greed and opens the door to true joy.
Rest in God’s timing – Trust that His plan for your life includes everything you truly need.
Proverbs 28:25 teaches that greed leads to emptiness, but trust leads to peace. God’s prosperity isn’t measured in possessions—it’s found in the quiet assurance that He will provide.

✨ True abundance flows not from what we hold in our hands, but from whom we trust with our hearts
