Too Much of a Good Thing

If you are like most people, you gave or received way too many Christmas gifts. All you have to do is visit some local yard sales or see the amount of self storage units being built to realize that we have way too much stuff. My wife Lovel is a phenomenal shopper who likes to find deals at thrift stores; sometimes she will even come home with tags still on the clothes! Credit card debt in this country is over one trillion dollars!!


We learn in the 25th chapter of the Book of Proverbs that too much of a good thing in this life can become a bad thing. Look at the wisdom found in verses 16 and 17, "eat so much as is sufficient for thee, Lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; Lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee." In other words: a little bit can go a long way.


As we look to begin a new year that God has blessed us with, I encourage you to reflect on all the "good" stuff in your life and find a healthy balance of having and going without.


See you in church on Sunday...


Pastor Aaron
