Psalm 90:12-13 reminds us that we must gain the wisdom of the heart. God does not want us to focus on material things, He wants us to know that our true value. He wants us to see through His eye so we can be the man or woman He created us to be. This is hard because we can often be consumed with vanity and personal possessions, power, wealth etc. But God does not want us to be of this world, He wants us to store up those things of heaven. To do this we must remain open to God’s voice.
Let us all reflect today on our personal struggle with greed and material possession.
The Lord wants to give us so much more. We all know that happiness that can be bought is only temporary.
Jesus offers us hope. When we prioritize the things that we have and focus on our life with Christ, we will find happiness. I guess we really need to ask ourselves this question, how can I help bring happiness to others using the gifts and things I already have?
