Now godliness with contentment is a great gain.1Timothy 6:6
Pursuing materialism comes with frustration,everything we see,we desire to have it.if we get these things we desire, they satisfy us for a while and soon they loose their thrill.People with Jobs seek a raise,after they receive that raise, the satisfaction that came with it soon fall on rocks and they start seeking for another raise. All Rivers run into the sea but it is never full.
Graduates seek jobs,employees seek promotion, couples with male kids seek girls etc.Things don’t bring satisfaction but only Jesus Christ does.
Focus on people not things,use things and love people.if you want to feel RICH,count your blessings not your problems. I’m not against wealth or riches but the pursuit of it has led many astray.There’s nothing wrong in dreaming a luxurious life but what needs to be taken care of is to not let Need become Greed,because needs can always be met but greed can never be fulfilled.
Do you have an attitude of gratitude?
Take time and thank God for the things He has blessed you with that money can’t buy.Pursue Jesus not materialism.seek he first the kingdom of God and it’s righteousness, and all others shall be added to you. Don’t do the opposite.True satisfaction comes from Jesus and nothing else.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh,lust of the eyes and the pride of life…1John2:16.stay blessed
