Significance and security?

 There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.  And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.”  Luke 16:19-21(ESV)

There are rich and poor in this world. Both the rich and the poor have the same problems and opportunities. The rich and the poor long for significance and security. The rich often look for their significance and security in their money, homes, status, or health. The poor often envy the rich, thinking they would be significant and secure if they were in their position.

Yet, in reality, they both seek the same thing. The significance and security they both desire are equally available to all, regardless of their status. The rich often become distracted by the chase and fail in life's most important task.

Being rich, comfortable, and influential will never bring lasting significance and security. In this story, Lazarus was the one who found life, while the rich man ended in tragedy.

Where do you find your significance and security?
