The Lord wants us to have many nice things but at times we will be tested.

Ok, so me personally, when i was younger i was materialistic beyond belief, my parents spoiled me (on a not rich budget none the less), i had new shows every 3 weeks crazy shit, but one night on the way home from the mall, (i threw new shoes n hoody on) and we saw a car flipped over upside down in a ditch, (im from new york, but not the city, im an hour away) but to make a long story short i had to hop out into this lil river/stream shit that was overflowing because the rain n had to pull the door open, mind you while its stuck with rocks, so i asked the lord for strength and i was able to get it open, well, i helped the guy out, the ambulance came, the guy never said thanks, the cops didnt ask me shit, than we just left, with my new clothes ruined. My mom is wonderful, shes the light of christ in my life, and she told me it mightve been a test to somehow see if i could put others before myself and my materialistic ways, i kinda see it, or it could have been coincidence, regardless im hardly materialistic now, though i still dress nice i dont O.D on that shit.

But yeah, we get tested all the time, most of the time we dont even realize it until we fail, i.e arguements

So to have and to be thankful for, but not to idolize is what i think god wants us to do
