Good Tuesday morning, my friends.
With "Black Friday" behind us we are now full tilt into the Christmas Season. Or should I say, the Christmas Shopping Season.
Advertisers and retailers are pulling out all the stops to get us to understand that we "need" what they are selling.
Jesus said:
"So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
(Matthew 6:31-32)

Father, help us to prayerfully apply Your Scriptures so that we can learn to be content in any and every situation.
A godly contentment will fill our hearts with peace in place of an anxious heart that keeps us in angst as we struggle to obtain the newest or latest gadget or comfort.
Help us to fix our eyes on You, not others as we pursue holiness.In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
