Wednesday, April 14, Materialism

I struggle daily with materialism. Billboards, TV advertisement, mail flyers, all around me are temptations to be materialistic. New cars, TV's, technology, bigger and better, nicer clothes, are all being thrown at me on a moment by moment basis. It has been a huge help to me to spend time in the Word and Prayer each morning. Kind of starts my day in focus and helps keep my mind on Him and what is important. As the devotional said, there is nothing wrong with having things. It is the attitude about having things that can be wrong. These things I have will dissappear or belong to someone else someday. Giving to the work of the Lord so that others can come to know him will never pass away. God's idea of wealth is so much higher than mine. Father help me to daily give all I have to you for your work.
