“Then [Jesus] said to them, ‘Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.’” Luke 12:15
Something to keep in mind – that we are not defined by how much we have, but by who we are in Christ. A good thing to think about when you are tempted to buy that new high definition TV, a new camera, or some other “possession”. It can be so easy to buy things to feel good, and to equate things or possessions with a happy life. In the end, the the “possessions” can actually end up possessing us, and won’t give us an enduring happiness or peace. Only God can do that.
