Billy Graham 3 June 2018 Daily Devotional
Topic: Being Rich
Key Verse: Real life and real living are not related to how rich we are. – Luke 12:15 (TLB)
Message: There are two ways of being rich—have a lot, or want very little. The latter way is the easier for most of us. Many people make themselves miserable by wanting more than they can ever have. They suffer from “thing-itis,” the insatiable desire for more, better, and newer things. Jesus was the most satisfied man that ever lived, and He had less than most of us. “The foxes have their holes, and the birds their nests, but the Son of man has no place to lay His head.” He had learned the secret of adjusting His wants to His needs.
