Today’s Thought “Cyber Monday” G. Ward

 

And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” Luke 12:15

For the next 20+ days there will be great trouble in the land. Many will sit perplexed on what to purchase for their loved ones for this illustrious holiday upcoming. Networks like QVC (an initialism for "Quality, Value, Convenience"), HSN (Home Shopping Network) along with a multitude of online cyber shopping networks are salivating at the opportunity to increase their profitability. It’s the easy payment option that’s far less interrogative, yet comparable to credit extended that makes this an attractive mode of shopping. God’s word says at 1 Corinthians 10:23, "I have the right to do anything," you say--but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"--but not everything is constructive.

Be very careful to know there’s a 26^th of December whereby the demand for payment is imminent. Moreover, the children you’ve considered (with this exorbitant purchasing) have misplaced (to never find) the gadgetry necessary to operate these same components before year end. The adults (young or otherwise) may have the same or desired the updated version, exacerbating the initial point of perplexity presented (say that real fast), “what do you get for the individual who has everything” (cf. Mt.6:25)?

Happy Monday!
