Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

Then he said, "Beware! Guard against every
kind of greed. Life is not measured by how
much you own." Luke 12:15, NLT    

Jesus says that the good life has nothing
to do with being wealthy, so be on guard
against greed (desire for what we don't
have). This is the exact opposite of what
society usually says. Advertisers spend
millions of dollars to entice us to think
that if we buy more and more of their
products, we will be happier, more
fulfilled, more comfortable.    

How do you respond to the constant
pressure to buy? Learn to tune out
expensive enticements and concentrate
instead on the truly good life--living in a
relationship with God and doing his work
