What do you own? Are you materialistic without realizing it? Or, to the contrary, are you minimalistic? Do you believe that things are there for enjoyment, or for necessity? Whether you believe in having a lot of things in your life or keeping it simple, it matters that you know that all things come from God. He places things in your life to serve their purpose, whether they are there for the time being, or will live beyond your time. It is essential that we don’t lose focus of what we have that is eternal, and it’s not something that can be bought or received from someone, but something that we inherit from God.
In fact, many of us think that having things in our lives enhances it, whether it be a new device or some new item that can impress others. Please do not lose focus of who you are in God and what these things can mean when they are in too much abundance. Sometimes it’s good to live simply.
