today i would like us to feast our eyes on this facts and scriptures to advice our self
When will we learn that life is not defined by the number of toys that we accumulate? "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses" (Luke 12:15). In many cases, having less is actually better.
Proverbs 15:16, "Better is a little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure with trouble."
Proverbs 15:17, "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted calf with hatred."
Proverbs 16:8, "Better is a little with righteousness, than vast revenues without justice."
Too often the things we accumulate distract us from the meaningful things we already possess. The more things we gather, the more our focus is on this world, and the less we focus on God. It is when we have little that we appreciate what we have and remember to show our appreciation to the Giver of all things. "Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (I Timothy 6:6-10).
Proverbs 17:1, "Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife."
Ecclesiastes 4:6, "Better a handful with quietness than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind."
