LIVING IS MORE THAN MATERIAL PROSSESSIONS

Luke 12: 21-26 This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” 22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

We cannot go around worrying about anything this world has to offer.  Our lives are more than the day to day living and then dying, without serving a purpose.    Have you ever studied the plants, and animals, the way they live; all living creation has a purpose.  We (humans) also have a purpose; no one is here by chance, and once we have served our purpose then we have lived.  Living is not about partying, traveling, or shopping we store up all these worldly treasures, and what happens, we leave it behind when we’re called home.  The birds carry eggs from one body of water to another, keeping balance in the air and the seas.  Because the creator controls the balance for air and sea, so He will provide all their needs.  But, He made men in His image and gave us free will to choose Him or the world.  Once we decide to be in the world, it creates worry and worry creates stress, and stress creates pressure and sickness, then on and on.   What does it all accomplish; it does not make you joyful or at peace.  Joy and peace are better than being happy and content, because joy and peace come from the Lord, so nothing can take it away.  Happiness and pleasure come from material things of the world, which can be lost, stolen, or it gets old than satisfaction and happiness are gone.  Because wherever our treasure is, our heart's desire will also be.  Seek the Kingdom of God and He will give you all you need.
