Galatians 6:7-8—Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man
reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will
reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap
eternal life.
Where do you invest your time? When we stop to think about what it is we do
on a daily basis, we are likely to find that the world starts to get in the way
of our relationship with God. Maybe we
are hungry for wealth, stability of income, status in the community, or some
other worldly god. But these worldly
treasures are not what sustains the human spirit. Sure, for a time, we might feel satisfied and
successful, but there is always a risk of losing these worldly treasures. What is more, they come at a cost. True peace and contentment come from seeking
the kingdom of God. Does that mean that
we extricate ourselves from this world?
Absolutely not! We bring the
kingdom of heaven to earth when we love and serve others. Our personal desires, wants, and agendas,
must take a backseat to what God has in store for us. When we start following God’s plan, we begin
to see that it is so much greater than anything we could have imagined. Our happiness is far greater and more
sustainable than anything worldly riches could provide.
Today as you pray and meditate on His Word, praise God for
His steadfast love. Thank Him for His
desire to care for His Creation. Rejoice
in the heavenly treasures He has waiting on you. Pray that the Holy Spirit would lead and
guide your every thought that you might never become distracted by the things
of this Earth.
