This devotional reading is important for all of us to take to heart and to rely on Jesus only for life. Jesus is not against His children having "things" - He is against "things " having His children. Christ Himself is our source of life.
It is possible to have an abundance of money to buy more stuff and yet we can still be living shallow and deprived lives. We can also have little money and still be in the same boat. The true life is in Christ and what He has already done because He alone is our life and true provider for all things to be enjoyed by those who know the truth.

Trust completely in Jesus
The Bible tells us clearly not to put our trust in money. Our eyes should never be on money and money should never be our goal.
It is unwise to put your trust in uncertain riches. Rather, turn your eyes upon and put your trust completely in the person of Jesus.
Don’t make the mistake of pursuing the provision and missing the Provider. The Word declares that it is the Lord who gives and provides us all that we need for our enjoyment.
Beloved, when you have Jesus, you have everything. You have peace, righteousness, forgiveness, wisdom, health, power, provision, favor and every blessing. Now, this is true prosperity and good success.
So anchor yourself on Him and not on material things, and enjoy the security and unshakable peace that is found only in Jesus!
