Verse Study - Proverbs 15:16

By: Lara Velez

Better is little with the reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord than great and rich treasure and trouble with it.

I thought this was a perfect verse to go with our frugal month.

We need to be very careful not to fall into the "keeping up with the Jones's" trap. I mean excess is everywhere. You cannot watch television, read a magazine, or even drive down the road without some sort of ad telling you to buy! Telling you that you can find happiness if you just buy...

Unfortunately, we all fall victim to this on some level. Even worse is the pressure, stress, and lack of real fulfillment that comes with it.

We need to focus on our relationship with God above ALL else. We need to forget about "stuff" and shopping, and need to give more.

If we would just take the focus off of what we do not have and shine the light on all that we do have, we would be more content than we could have ever imagined.

We are blessed. We are chosen of God. We are daughters of the Most High. Let us allow our inner lights to shine so brightly that we outshine any diamond on earth! There is the TRUE treasure lies! 

Till Next Month...

God Bless,

Lara ;)
