King Midas was a greedy man. Even though he was very rich he wanted more and more and always prayed to God for more riches. One day an angel appeared in his dream and asked him what he wanted. Without a second thought Midas said, “Grant me the blessing that whatever I touch may turn to gold.”
The angel granted his wish and disappeared. Midas was excited. He ran to the garden and touched the rose plants and flowers. He was thrilled when they turned to gold. After turning many things to gold he was tired and sat down for lunch. When he hungrily took the rice to his mouth it turned to dazzling gold. A soldier had to feed him with a spoon.
Evening his daughter came rushing to see her dad. Midas hugged his daughter and you guess what happened. Midas cried. He wept looking at his daughter’s gold statue. He had learned his lesson. He repented and cried to God for forgiveness. He begged God to give back his daughter and take away his gift. God graciously answered his prayer and restored everything to normal.
We should be satisfied and happy with what God has given us. We should never crave for more and more.
