Some Thoughts on our Possessions
It’s important that we have proper perspectives regarding our possessions.
Everything we have is a gift from God—food and clothing, house and yard, cars and computers, money and jewelry—everything. Give thanks for all God’s given to us!
Everything we have belongs to God. He’s the owner, and we’re the stewards. Our responsibility is to care for and use the possessions entrusted to our care in ways that honor their ultimate owner—God. Give thanks for the privilege of being a steward of God’s resources.
The Old Testament book of Deuteronomy contains Moses’ last instructions to God’s people before they cross the Jordan River into the Promised Land. In chapter 26, Moses gives some invaluable guidance related to our possessions. Moses said:
“Rejoice in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household” (Deuteronomy 26:11).
God didn’t want His people to take their possessions for granted, but to see them as gifts of love from His fatherly hand. If we think of our possessions as things we’ve earned, they’ll do us no spiritual good—and may even harm us. But if we see them as gifts from our heavenly Father, they’ll help us love Him even more.
Until recently, the wealthiest people in the world lived and died without enjoying many things that we take for granted. They may have lived in a palace, but without a refrigerator, television, furnace, or air-conditioner. They may have had servants, but not the internet, hot water, or even indoor plumbing.
A certain king was known to have forty meals prepared for him every single night, from which he could choose. Today, most of us live within driving distance of just as many restaurants. The good things we enjoy don’t come to us by accident. They are gifts from our heavenly Father and tokens of His love.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow, my friends!
