Do we really trust God with our lives? Our actual physical lives? This puts forth a very challenging question. Maybe we trust God enough with our thoughts and feelings, but what about the material stuff that keeps us fed, clothed, and sheltered? And what about our attention and our priorities? Do we trust God with these?
Contrary to the belief that the one with the most stuff wins, it is my belief that the closer you become to God, the less you need, or even desire material things?
Jesus teaches us that if we have faith and trust in God, there is always enough. But how much is enough?
Each day as we pray over our lifestyles, we encounter issues of materialism. When did we accumulate so much stuff?
There are times when I have a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I spend so much of my life spending time focusing on all of my possessions that it makes me wonder what the spiritual costs are of having more than enough, and what it is that really holds my attention.
God, or Stuff?
I welcome your comments.
Peace,
