It's Not What You Have

"Then He said to them, 'Beware, and be on your guard against every from of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.'" -Luke 12:15 (NASB)
Sometimes it can be hard to resist a good sale.  Even if we have enough, a good deal or clearance price can be tempting.  Yet it, in the end, it doesn't really matter how much we have.  Our life and happiness cannot be measured by possessions or things.

Jesus reminds us to beware and on guard against greed.  While we may not think we are acting out of greed, we should think about what we have and what we need.  We don't have to deprive ourselves, but our focus shouldn't be on acquiring an abundance of possessions.  If our attention is taken away from God and placed on the things that we have, we can miss opportunities to serve God.  We can find contentment and happiness in God and in serving Him, we don't need to worry about the possessions that we have!

Focus on God and don't worry about what you have, just be happy as you work to serve Him!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for always providing for me.  Help me to remember to keep my focus on You and not on the things that I have or want.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
