“Father, I want to know Thee, but my coward heart fears to give up its toys. I cannot part with them without inward bleeding, and I do not try to hide from Thee the terror of the parting. I come trembling, but I do come. Please root from my heart all those things which I have cherished so long and which have become a very part of my living self, so that Thou mayest enter and dwell there without a rival. Then shalt Thou make the place of Thy feet glorious. Then shall my heart have no need of the sun to shine in it, for Thyself wilt be the light of it, and there shall be no night there. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
— A. W. Tozer, “The Pursuit of God”, Kindle location 335

This is something that I struggle with. I’ve been told that “It’s ok to have things, just as long as the things don’t have you.” The first verses that obviously jump to mind are Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” The greatest commandment is to love the Lord my God with all my heart and all my soul and all my mind. But, it’s almost depressing to take a step back and examine how possessions, or collections, or even certain forms of entertainment completely captivate me. I understand that my sin is forgiven, and that there’s no condemnation for me because I’m abiding in Jesus, but why is it so hard to not let “things” have such a large percentage of my heart and soul and mind?
Wow! You make such a good point about how things can captivate us. The way capitalism is practiced these days is to use advertisement to create the illusion of need, and to stir up discontentment with what we have. How totally ungodly (dare we say, satanic) is that? It takes away from our appreciation of the provisions of God. And unfortunately, most Christians seem oblivious to the evils of such a system of creating discontentment, and would be up in arms to try to interfere with such a system. But the other deep thing that your comment touches on is our need for security… and it seems that most of us feel more comfortable placing security in what is seen (possessions) than what is unseen (God) — though the exact passage you cite reminds us that the unseen is more reliable. I also struggle with this!
