For 12 years Robin Leach hosted a program on television called Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. The show featured the extravagant lifestyles of wealthy entertainers, athletes, and business moguls. Why did we watch it? We have always been fascinated with how the rich and famous live. We may have dreamed of what we would do if we had the kind of money they had. We may have dreamed of the extravagant lifestyle. If we only had their money, their fame, their success then we wouldn't have these problems. The interesting thing about the show is that we didn't really see the people enjoying their possessions. I am sure that they did but I am also sure that their possessions brought about a series of other problems. It is one thing to look at their lifestyle and another to look and desire that lifestyle. Psalm 16:6 says it well. "The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance."
