These days when I make a purchase I usually do some self-reflection. I ask myself if I really need what I intend to buy or is it something I just want, instead of needing. I also ask myself is this purchase going to make my life better in some way or is it going to complicate my life. Sometimes the things that we fret over actually harm us rather than make things better.
Luke 12:22-23, 30-31 says, “And he said to his disciples, ‘Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. for all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.” Don’t sweat the small stuff. God knows what is important for you and will always provide. Seek Him first and the other things that you need will come from Him.
