“Because you acted as you did in not withholding from me your beloved son, I will bless you abundantly…” – Genesis 22:16
In this world, there is God, and everything else is “stuff.” Stuff can be money, work, ministry or family. Stuff is neither good nor bad. It only becomes bad if it hinders us from worshipping and loving God.
Oftentimes, we are too attached to stuff. We make it the sole reason for our happiness and meaning. In turn, we feel dissatisfied and empty because we seek happiness in the stuff of God, rather than the God of stuff.
Unstuff today. When you do, you leave a space for God to stuff you with better things.
Reflection: Stuff should lead
you to God and His purpose for you, not away from Him. Is there any
clutter in your life that needs to be unstuffed?
Prayer: Lord, may I have less stuff, and more of You.

While
God has abundantly blessed us with ways and means to have a comfortable
life – may we not forget Him in the midst of all life’s pleasures and
seek
more of Him, using what He has blessed us with to focus more on Him and
be led to our purpose and meaning in life – may we also open our hearts
and hands more to bless others as well…
We are blessed to bless!
