Prov 15:16
Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
KJV
We live in a culture where wealth is king and people believe that enough money can buy them anything. Many people worship the rich and try to become rich themselves. We work long, stressful hours so that we can afford expensive toys and vacations so that we can recover from our stressful job. When the vacation is over, we go back to work as hard as ever to pay it off. What is wrong with this picture? God is calling us to contentment with a little in life. If we fear the Lord, and obey Him, we'll realize what is really important in life. We don't have to run on the hamster wheel. We don't need to keep up with the Jones's. God calls us to contentment where we are. He also wants us to give time to Him in service. He wants us to take time to be with our family.
Lord, help me to keep my priorities right. Help me to be content with what I have. Help me to remember that things that are truly important in my life and take time for them as I should.
