Today in Psalm 49, we find a great example of what happens when we trust in wealth and give in to “wicked” ways. It reads that we become more beast-like and may even forfeit our opportunity of resurrection (Psalm 49:13-15).

To measure whether our allegiance lies with God or with “Babylon,” we must inspect our desires. Wherever our desires are not aligned with our God-identity, as His image-bearers, we are called to repent and return to His best for our lives. In Matthew 6:33, Jesus taught to “seek first His kingdom” and that “all these things will be added unto [us].” Every deepest desire of our hearts can be redeemed and fulfilled when we reject the temptations of Babylon and align our hearts under the lordship of the Lamb.
