Simplicity is the absence of deceit; it is freedom from pretentiousness.
Simplicity is opposed to fleshly wisdom (2 Cor 1:12). It should be exhibited in preaching the gospel (1 Thes 2:3-7), in acts of benevolence (Rom 12:8), concerning your own wisdom (1 Cor 3:18), concerning evil (Rom 16:19), and in all your conduct (2 Cor 1:12).
God, there are so many distractions today. It is easy to get caught up in what others think and have. Please help me shield my children from that. I pray that they appreciate all things and resist getting consumed with wordly things. I pray they relish the simple things in life.
