Luke 12:32-34

 32"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

How easy and often I set my heart on posessions and earthly comforts.  Even when I am given certain blessing and/or gifts, I still long for greater ones with a selfish heart.  The falacy is that 'just one more ... and I"ll be good."  It's never ending in the world of posessions.  It's like an addiction that you can never feel as though you've had your fill.  Only God can give us fullness.  Only God can make us feel complete.  He fills us up entirely.

Be thankful for what God provides us.  In the BIG picture, God is orchestrating everything in our lives and it's up to us to recognize and accept what He has given/blessed us with.  Be content with the Almighty for He can out give and pour into us like nothing else.  How great He is!

Father, forgive me for always wanting more than what you provide.  I appreciate and am thankful for everything you give.  It is with a thankful heart that I seek your understanding for you know well in advance the outcomes of each and every situation long before it occurs.  Powerful are you Lord and loving.  Thank you Father, continue to bless me.  

Amen!
