The world wants us to believe that more is better, faster is easier and the one with the most toys wins! God tells us that if we seek Him in even the most mundane things, ask Him the silliest of questions He will guide us through! He says that more of HIM is better, His timing is perfect, and the one with the most faith wins!
Our goal should always be about the message and not the messenger! If something distracts us or others from the message, let's change it! God will provide a way. He looks at our hearts, not our outward appearance. However, we live in a world where our image and our appearance do make a difference in our message. God knows this and will provide for this.
Going without isn't God's plan for us. Living with less does not please Him. What matters is whether we desire to honor God with our wealth or our wealth makes us feel more honorable. He just wants us to ask Him before we spend and obey His answer. Trust that what He wants to give us is better than what we want or think we need and make a decision to submit to His authority.
