It is a mistake to teach God’s people to focus on material things or to concern themselves about such things. Jesus said, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear…For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them” (Matt. 6:25, 32). If we are striving (that is using our faith to believe for) material things what does that say about us?
“God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
— 2 Corinthians 9:8 (NIV)
Lord, help us to use our faith for eternal things. Amen.
