Compared to most people in the world, we Americans (and Europeans) are wealthy. Even the most lowly person in the USA has much more than billions of people around the world.
Instead of being happy with what we have, most of us are obsessed with the latest food and drink trends, new restaurants, fashion, and other trivialities. Paul, in his first letter to Timothy, was cognizant of the earthly human desire to have more. As one who would spend a long time in Roman prisons prior to his execution by beheading, realized that the “simple pleasures” in life are enough:
“So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.”
1 Timothy 6:8
I think my two pairs of jeans are sufficient, thank you. 😀
