Wealth vs. commandments

Wednesday anyone? In Matt ch19v16, Matthew writes about a rich man approaching Jesus and asking about getting eternal life. Jesus rebukes him by noting only God is good. He then tells the man to keep the commandments. The man, inhis pride and arrogance notes that he has kept them all. Notice that Jesus recited commandments 5-10. Next, Jesus hits the man with commandment one....no other Gods! This rich man loves his wealth too much. He leaves Jesus sad. Jesus is not saying wealth is evil. Rather, it is how we use our wealth and how we "worship" it. Does wealth/money make you secure? Can you ever get enough? Money will lose it's value, don't rely on it. None of us are "rich", 1%ers, yet we have made it this far. What makes you think God won't keep providing your needs?
