Jesus owned only a robe, and probably some sandals, that we know of.  Being the firstborn to Mary and Joseph, he was entitled to the birthright of His family, but Himself declared “The Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”  His example to us is that of one who pursues the task rather than the treasure.

We are trapped in a society that seeks material possessions.  Because God promises to meet our true needs, we don’t have to be driven by greed and materialism like those around us.

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”  Phil 4:19

DAILY PRAYER:  Father, thank You for supplying our needs.  Continue to deliver us from greed and other impure motives that distract us from Your eternal purposes.  You own it all.

DAILY READING:  Josh. 7-9;  Luke 12
