Driven By Fear & Materialism!

                                           

Many people are driven by fear. Their fears may be a result of a traumatic experience, unrealistic expectations, growing up in a high-control home, or even genetic predisposition. Regardless of the cause, fear-driven people often miss great opportunities because they're afraid to venture out. Instead they play it safe, avoiding risks and trying to maintain the status quo. Fear is a self-imposed prison that will keep you from becoming what God intends for you to be. You must move against it with the weapons of faith and love. 

                                                  

Many people are driven by materialism. Their desire to acquire becomes the whole goal of their lives. This drive to always want more is based on the misconceptions that having more will make me more happy, more important, and more secure, but all three ideas are untrue. Possessions only provide temporary happiness. Because things do not change, we eventually become bored with them and then want newer, bigger, better versions.

                                           

It's also a myth that if I get more, I will be more important. Self-worth and net worth are not the same. Your value is not determined by your valuables. And the most important things in life are not things! The most common myth about money is that having more will make me more secure. It won't. Can we see what happened when Tsunami hit the ground in Asia. So as when we had hurricane Katrina. Wealth can be lost instantly through a variety of uncontrollable factors. Real security can only be found in that which can never be taken from you -  your relationship with God.

                                                         

So we need to get rid of this hobbies of materialism and get connected straight to our heavenly father God. God has given us such a rich gift of life, why don't we preserve it with love and affection and treasure it for time eternal.
