Stop and take a look around you for one minute (if you are home). What do you see? A lot of things or very little? Realize what you possess has been provided to you through God's goodness. Yes, you might have gone out and purchased it with your "hard earned money"...but God gave you the talents and abilities to perform your job and the physical condition to do it daily and earn money. God has blessed you, are you a blessing to God?
Once we realize the stuff we have is the result of God's goodness in our lives, we will truly appreciate it more and thank Him for His blessings. The danger is when we start to buy things that exceed our capability to pay for the new stuff and struggle to live day to day. Tithing, do you give to the Lord? Do your monthly bills exceed what you give to the Lord? That's the reality check right there! When your all your possessions consume every penny from your bank account and you have none for the Lord, I can assure you His blessings will no longer flow.
It's a checks and balances system. Check your possessions against what you are giving to God. Thank Him for what He has provided for you and honor Him with through financial contributions and your time. By doing so, your life will be in tune with God's blessings account. Thank Him today. God bless.
