This is an area we need the fruit of the Holy Spirit, the fruit of self-control. We live in a world and a society that pressures us, and we’re pulled and tempted by so many ways to live beyond our means, to “keep up with the Joneses,” and to find our happiness and success in the “things” we possess. But real happiness and success are not found in “things”, and if we’re not careful, we can find ourselves hoodwinked into a life that we’re not happy with. Live in the Kingdom, and by His power and wisdom steward well what you’ve been blessed with.
