This truth cannot be
proclaimed enough, especially in our day when so much importance is placed on
materialism. We live in a world that is driven first by self-gratification. We
are led to believe that it is ours to have and that we must have it. We excel
in things that don't matter and care very little about the things that do.
Greed drives us and causes us to disregard God. He becomes nothing more than
window dressing on our lives. We use Him to serve our needs. We want Him around
to give our lives a semblance of respectability. We want Him more in the sense
of fire insurance than we do anything else. We live for the things we can have
and drag the Lord along with us. Is it any wonder why God is such a problem for
so many of us?
We can't have it our
way. The Lord will not live with us like that. He will only live with those who
understand that our real need in life is Him and Him alone. Only those who know
that God is Spirit and must be sought and worshiped in the spirit will have a
personal relationship with Him. Real life is measured by our relationship with
God. All that really matters is how we are connected to God. All that is not of
the spirit is going to vanish away someday. The spirit of man is eternal and we
determine what kind of a life our spirits are going to live, both now and for
all eternity.
Seek first the
Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and He will give you all that you need
for life and eternity.
