We often get the message from the world that we need more. We need to make more money. We need to spend more. We need to acquire more things. In the midst of all of these messages, there is the voice of Jesus telling us that we don't need more as long as we have Him!
Jesus gives advice that differs from and may seem illogical in the face of all we are told in this world. Instead of more "stuff", we need to focus on Jesus. He teaches us that instead of accumulating excess here and now, we need to be serving Him, helping others, and following His teaching. There are necessities in our lives, for sure, but as we are blessed, we need to share our blessings and help others by giving our time, talents, and resources!
It may seem illogical to the world, but we should focus not on accumulating "stuff" but on helping others!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all of the blessings in my life. Help me to use these blessings to serve You and to help others. In Jesus I pray, amen.
