Stuff isn’t inherently bad. God is not opposed to people enjoying good things. I think He takes delight in good craftsmanship, good design, good service, good food, and good experiences. In the Bible you see God is not opposed to wealth either. As you read through the Old Testament many of the people God interacts with and upholds as heroes are very well off. Abraham had a lot of stuff as did his children and their children. Joseph, despite being a prisoner for many years, ends up in a position of wealth and authority. God leads the nation of Israel into a land flowing with milk and honey; in other words, it was a rich place full of good things. So stuff is not bad. What’s bad is looking to our stuff to do what only God can do: give lasting satisfaction.
