The longer I live, the more stuff I accumulate. Not on purpose…it just seems to stick around, find a small niche to occupy and stays there until I recognize that I have not used it in a while, so I should pass it along to someone who will get use out of it. I like the idea presented here that Jesus calls us to balance and simplicity. We are body, soul and spirit, a combination of the three that make us work together and flourish in God’s kingdom. It is easy to be caught up into materialism. Remember the old song from Madonna, “I’m A Material Girl.” Yes, she was and still is, more’s the pity. The one with the most toys still dies and faces judgment from God, so what is the point of accumulating more than others just so you can say that you have more? There’s a lot to say for being content with what you need and not always grasping for what you think you want because others have it. It’s all about keeping our eyes on God, recognizing His provision and being content.
