Setting traps for pack rats

Jesus was never called a pack rat. He encouraged his disciples to travel light, leaving their extra staffs and tunics and even money behind.First and foremost, however, they chose to live a simple life, possessing only what they needed for their mission. Learn to appreciate the beauty of something without having to own it. Most importantly, keep the unique mission God has given me in this life clearly in mind. Then, let my home be a reflection of that purpose.
Luke 12:15
Jesus said, "watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed, because your true life is not made up of the things you own, no matter how rich you may be."
Matt 6:20-21
Jesus said,: Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steak. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
"There is nothing wrong with us possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess us." Billy Graham
