"Moreover, when God gives any man
wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be
happy in his work -- this is a gift of God. He seldom reflects on the days of
his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart."
5:19,20
Footnote:
God wants us to view what we have
(whether it is much or little) with the right perspective -- our possessions are
a gift from God. Although they are not the source of joy, they are a reason to
rejoice because every good thing comes from God. We should focus more on the
Giver than the gift. We can be content with what we have when we realize that
with God we have everything we need.
