Living Simply: A Child’s Heart in a Greedy World
Explore how children teach us to avoid greed and embrace simplicity through trusting God and valuing what truly matters.
📖 Introduction
Children have a unique way of seeing the world — often with wonder, trust, and an uncluttered heart. In today’s fast-paced, consumer-driven society, greed and the desire for more can easily overshadow the beautiful simplicity of life. This 7-day study explores what the Bible teaches about embracing the gentle, humble, and content spirit exemplified in childhood while steering clear of greed and materialism.
Jesus Himself reminds us in Matthew 18:3 that unless we become like children, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. This call invites us back, not just to innocence, but to a posture of reliance, simplicity, and purity of heart. Children’s needs are straightforward; they highlight trust over possession and love over accumulation.
Throughout this study, we will reflect on Scriptures that encourage us to unclench our fists from greed and open our hands to God’s provision and grace. We’ll delve into how living simply can deepen our relationship with God and enrich our daily lives, minimizing distractions that wealth and excess can bring.
Join this journey to rediscover joy in simplicity, learn lessons from the children around us, and cultivate a heart that trusts God fully—free from the heavy chains of greed.
