Enough.

This morning I was reminded of the principle
of being....
satisfied.

there are a couple of verses in Proverbs
where the writer asks God for;

- not too many good things
so he doesn't forget God
and
- enough needed things
so he doesn't steal for food
and make God 'look bad' to others.... ref Pr 30:8,9

Wow.

I was thinking;
'What self awareness'
To realize he is
vulnerable in both states.
Rich
or
Poor.'

So contrary to my culture of
'more is better'

'enough is.....
not quite as much as I want'

'extra....
just in case'

'extra, extra
just in case I use the first extra!' :P

Wow.

Then I read Jesus' words...
Lk 12:29 And do not set your heart
on what you will eat or drink;
do not worry about it.
30 For the pagan world runs after all such things,
and your Father knows
that you need them.
31 But seek his kingdom,
and these things will be given to you as well.
32 "Do not be afraid,
little flock, for your Father has been pleased
to give you the kingdom.
33 Sell 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.
34 For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also.

Wow.

Lord,
I choose self awareness
today.
I choose to recognize
my vulnerability
to cling to
Stuff
to
More
to
my immediate
needs / wants

But You have me
covered.
You Will look after me...
You have my needs
covered.... :)

Thank You
for helping me
unclutter my mind
and
life.

Yeah.
