S – For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Luke 12:34 CSB
O – Such a simple, famous verse. This gets quoted a lot. The context revolves around earthly wealth and money. It reinforces the principle that where our focus is, our thoughts, words and actions will follow.
A – Most things start in a healthy place. Whatever is important to you (including money and wealth) actually starts with our basic needs to live and thrive. Then, it moves into a desire for more. Again, this is healthy until it becomes “unhealthy.” When that desire goes causes your focus on more of this than God and it becomes your God. Your life revolves around satisfying this desire more than your relationship with God himself.
R – Lord, thank you for being my provider in all things. Thank you that you give me more than enough to take care of my needs and my wants. Please give me the strength and courage to face things that tempt me with “more.” Help me to keep you the focus of my life.
