… About Stuff.
Beware! Don’t always be wishing for what you don’t have.
For real life and real living are not related to how rich we are.”
Luke 12:15 Living Bible
***
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
1 Timothy 6:6-8 NIV
***
Don’t be obsessed with getting more material things.
Be relaxed with what you have.
Since God assured us,
“I’ll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,”
we can boldly quote, God is there, ready to help;
I’m fearless no matter what. Who or what can get to me?
Hebrews 13:5-6 The Message
***
9 What good comes to anyone who works so hard,
all to gain a few possessions?
10 I have seen the kinds of tasks God has given each of us to do
to keep one busy,
11 and I know God has made everything beautiful for its time.
God has also placed in our minds a sense of eternity;
we look back on the past and ponder over the future,
yet we cannot understand the doings of God.
12 I know there is nothing better for us than to be joyful
and to do good throughout our lives;
13 to eat and drink and see the good in all of our hard work is a gift from God.
Ecclesiastes 3:9-13 The Voice
