Stuff or Treasures?
Ecclesiastes 1:14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
We all must work. We are even called to dedicate and perform that work to the Lord. “Whatever you do, do it with all your heart as working for the Lord, and not for men.” (Colossians 3:23). We all labor to provide for ourselves and our families, and for things we desire. But somewhere in us is that desire for always more. The wants, far outweigh the needs, and we find ourselves in constant pursuit of “stuff”. The world we live in teaches us that more stuff brings happiness, joy, and success. All we have to do is put our minds to the task, and we shall succeed. If not, there will be a program to help you fix what you are doing wrong.
That is not what Christ teaches. Place your treasure and focus on things to come in Heaven. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Luke 12:34) If we are in constant pursuit of worldly possessions, our heart will not be in constant pursuit of Christ. We cannot serve two masters, God and money. Work diligently as you are working for God, but use those resources He has given you to focus on Him. You can make a difference in where you work every day, in the kingdom of God for eternity.
