Grace for Living

Matthew 6:28-30 Consider the Lilies of the field, how they grow: They neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is , and tomorrow is thrown into the oven will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith.

Consider these three parts of our culture: garage sales, mini-storage facilities, and landfills. They're all signs that we've go more "stuff" than we know what to do with. Everyone struggles with saying "Enough!" when it come to material things.

Finding the balance between greed and contentment is a challenge. And there are no rule books to tell us when enough is enough not event he Bible. Like human father, God lets His children wrestle with some decisions like how much stuff to own. But he does give us principles in His Word, along with the promise of guidance from his Spirit. Talk to God about the best use of your material resources. With his help, you'll be well on your way to a healthy, balanced life.
