The world is ever tempting us daily. We're bombarded by advertisements from various media promoting easy credit, glorifying luxurious lifestyles and encouraging us to give in to our sense of entitlement. You're tempted every now and then to treat yourself with some nice things in life regardless of whether you can afford them. Yes, you often feel entitled. You believe you deserve to pamper yourself with some luxuries because of your hard work. This was exactly how King Solomon (known for his wisdom, wealth and writings) felt when he said: "I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil" (Ecclesiastes 2:10).
