Stumbling blocks

"... for [wealth] has been the stumbling block of their iniquity... they turned into pride of it the images of their abominations (idols)..." Ezekiel 7:19-20

Wealth, prosperity, fame, fortune, and the like, can be just as addicting as any drug; once you get a little, you want more, and once you get more, it is still not enough; you begin to pursue them in desperate measure, trampling anyone, and everyone, who tries to get in your way, including God. We need to be on guard toward our pursuits, dreams, desires, and prayers, so that our fleshly wants don't get ahead of us; thus, making sure to know where our priorities lie.

Where are your priorities?  Is your money, as well as, your dreams, prayers, hopes, and desires, in line with the Word of God?  If not, then back off a bit on the pursuits, and press in to God, otherwise the outcome you are so busy fighting for may be exactly the opposite of what you are hoping.  

Make sure God is the center of everything you want, so that your hopes and prayers not only comes to pass, but come to pass in extraordinary measures; over and above anything you could dare hope for or imagine.
