This world is full of a lot of things that are pretty and shiny, remember just because it glitters doesn't mean that it is gold. It is not wrong for Christians to have nice stuff, but when having all that nice stuff becomes our main goal in life that is when it is wrong. People will do anything to get stuff, lie, cheat, and steal. Some even for the last resort pray to get it. God will never answer that prayer because He knows that we will Love the stuff more than we will love Him. God wants us, not us with our stuff. We need to Humble ourselves and Worship God, after all that is why He Created us !!!
2 You want things, but you don’t get them. So you kill and are jealous of others. But you still cannot get what you want. So you argue and fight. You don’t get what you want because you don’t ask God.
3 Or when you ask, you don’t receive anything, because the reason you ask is wrong. You only want to use it for your own pleasure.
4 You people are not faithful to God! You should know that loving what the world has is the same as hating God. So anyone who wants to be friends with this evil world becomes God’s enemy.
5 Do you think the Scriptures mean nothing? The Scriptures say, “The Spirit God made to live in us wants us only for himself.”
6 But the kindness God shows is greater. As the Scripture says, “God is against the proud, but he is kind to the humble.
James 4: 2-6 ERV Bible.
