Don'T Let the Stuff You Get, Get You

we all have worldly possessions, we all have some stuff those material things of which we can't seem to get enough you never realize how much stuff you've got until you have to move out an overabundance of possessions, the stuff you can't seem to do without eventually you'll be separated from your stuff and it will be separated from you for when you finally leave this earth don't think you can take it too somebody else will be rocking in your chair and watching your HDTV somebody else will now have all that stuff on which you spent all your money your children won't treat any of your stuff the same as you would so don't let the stuff you get get you for in the end it won't do you any good one day my son invited me over to see his new apartment and while there he gave me a drink and then made a strange comment he said "dad, you'll need a coaster so don't put that wet glass on my table" I told him "what about all of MY stuff that he's destroyed since the day he left his cradle" you need to develop a duck's oily back mentality and let the little annoyances in life roll off of thee one day while Jesus was speaking a parable, a young man did interrupt he wanted Jesus to talk to his brother about sharing their father's stuff Jesus said, "Who told you that I have come here to judge, My purpose for being is to speak life to you, I'm not here to settle a grudge" mankind has developed a condition, a sin known as greed for an abundance of possessions, the stuff we think we need but that is not the major problem that most men do possess it's that they're not humbled enough to give God His proper address people tend to forget that all they have comes from God's mercy and grace they tend to think that they're the ones in control in the first place if you're over-bearing, self-centered and disdainful you'll be labeled a foolish man if you don't learn to give honor, glory and thanks to God for His righteous hands for no man has the authority to assume he's in control not even the richest or the smartest man can save his own soul not even the poorest or the dumbest man can circumcise his own heart people need to understand that all the glory belongs to the Lord God so don't let the stuff you get get you, all those things you possess remember you can't take it with you and it won't make your testimony progress so don't be selfish about your stuff and to God be arrogant and rude remember He's in control of everything and He does not suffer fools
