The Overthinker's Devotionalनमुना

STRESS CAUSED BY STUFF

Stuff around our homes easily piles up, and sometimes having too much stuff causes us to overthink and have anxiety. The less we have, the less we have to overthink about! We can always be looking to purge and organize the items that are collecting around our homes. Jesus taught us to be careful, because we should be storing up riches for ourselves in heaven, not on earth. We can’t take one bit of stuff from earth to heaven with us, so we shouldn’t get too caught up in having it here on earth. What does it mean to gather riches in heaven? It means that God will be rewarding us with blessings that last forever in heaven based on the good things we are doing to bring glory to Him here on earth.

Prayer: Father God, help me to want treasure in heaven far more than any collection of “treasures” here on earth. Help me to use wisdom about what stuff I keep and what stuff I get rid of. Amen.
