“A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” (Luke 12:15) – Possessions don’t give us spiritual nourishment. Simply passing the time by meditating on our Father’s ways and wisdom in quietness does, as well as working those ways by day: benefiting others to ease their burden and bring them joy and peace, in turn bringing us joy and peace.
That’s the truth – the way it really is – what really brings a man true peace and joy – how we were programmed to find peace and joy.
The lie is peace and joy through: selfishness, greed, possessions, fame, fortune, beauty and power.
