The Good Life

Read Luke 12:13-21

"Beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses." — Luke 12:15

Reflection of Tommy:

Today's passage reminded us of the danger to rely and trust solely on worldly possessions for security and happiness. It is shortsighted for us to concentrate only in seeking to be rich and fulfilled by more and more of these perishable things, while neglecting our focus in finding the richness of God that lasts forever.

Dear Father, thank You that I can trust in You to provide for all that I need. Teach me to be content with what I have and be grateful for all that You’ve blessed me with. I pray that I’ll be generous and compassionate in giving back to others who are in needs in return. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
