S- Proverbs 30:8 First help me never to tell a lie, Second, give me neither poverty or riches give me just enough to satisfy my needs.
O - OMGoodness! God is so trying to get me to listen to him. I've been so convicted about my excess in life of everything from food to clothes to stuff in general. Then He brought Jen Hatmaker's book "7" across my path which is her journey of purging excess (really good read). And then One of my favorite songs I can't get out of my head and it says "satisfies my deepest longings. meets, supplies my every need" I get it Lord. I'm to crave you alone and not everything else in this world:)
A - So, what do i do? I'm just going to start saying to myself, "Is God more important than ___?" If yes,(which should always be YES) then ____takes a back seat or I walk away from it, or I get rid of it, or I repurpose it, etc. Pray for my excessive life.
P - God I want you to be more important than STUFF. I want my kids to see that things aren't important but my relationship with you and how I show you to others is the most important. I'm so grateful for this hard lesson and I am listening. Please keep my heart open to grow more in this area. I want to be released from STUFF!
