Are We Sinning By Wanting To Be Rich?

Are We Sinning Because We Want To Be Rich?

So as a young person and as a Christian i find my self battling with this topic in my mind am i sinning by wanting to become rich?.Each day i wake up put on my clothes and go to work,but in the back of my mind i wonder what does it feel like to never have to worry about money again.What does it feels like to wake up and know if i want it i can have it!. But on the Flip side i am also mindful of what the bible says about the love of Money and desire for Wealth. 
I mean be real with me  deep inside we all want the House,Car,Travel,No BOSS,Marriage, (sigh) i know as a Christian i am suppose to live a self less life at the end of the day its not my will but Gods will be done.
But on the same side as a Human i'm just sick and tired going through life struggling wondering where the next dollar is going to come from or if ill be able to accomplish the things in life that i really wanna do. 

Scriptures i fight with Daily 

Genesis3:19: By the sweat of thy brow you shall eat bread 
"My thoughts: I'm tired trading time for money and bread gone up!" -_-

Mathew6:19:"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also
My Thoughts:"I wish i could afford treasures for those thieves to steal and i want a NHA House"

Luke16:13: No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
"My Thoughts: . . . .............................. . . . ....................... ....

Conclusions

I AM HUMAN! and i am not perfect In no form or fashion in  a nutshell it really comes down to to  2 things.
  1. Am i going to  please god by sacrificing my will for his?
  2. Or am i going to keep my will and spend my life trying to get the things that i want 

What Do You Think 

  • Maybe i am just be a rebellious christian who does not want to subject his will and just want the things of this world 
  • Or Maybe I'm just a average Human who wants better in life and for his future
