Reflection question: This Psalm mentions that we don't take our wealth/possessions with us into eternity. How do you think God does want us to use our resources and money?
God wants us to use our resources to care for others, to be his hands and feet on this earth. That doesn't mean that we don't care for ourselves, but we don't need all the latest toys and gadgets that come out. We can survive on little and give to God's glory of our time, talents, and financial resources. It is a struggle to know if I should spend the money on something sometimes. Is this something that I should do or not? Like fix up our house. It is fine now, Keeps us warm, but it needs some updating. How do I know what God wants me to do?
