People constantly strive for possessions—more stuff, better stuff, bigger stuff. In this quest to have material things, they can allow the desire for things to distract from their commitment to the Lord. Thankfully, Jesus gave the answer to the problem.

Matthew 6:25-34: “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
