The more possessions you have the more they possess you. If you own an
eigthy thousand dollar bayliner inboard cruiser you will feel like you
have to be on the lake every weekend and on every holiday in order to
"justify" the expense of ownership.
God does not want us to be bound by great possessions, but to be content
with such things as we have.
I see the peace in that. It is also a good psychological "way out" for
those who cannot afford a fifth wheel RV etc!
I'd rather have Jesus than a private Lear jet!
God is good, and provides all my needs, and I rather like what I heard
in the Spirit one day. "You can possess them with your eyes!"
Other men's goods, like a beautiful mansion and the grounds upon which
it sits with all the finery and all the greenery can look mighty nice as
I possess them with my eyes! I take possession of such a thing as that,
and the owner gets to run the rat race of keeping it all toigether!
Lord. I pray this day that you quicken everyone of us to be content
wherewith we are provided of you! In Jesus name, amen!
