…eventually, but certainly…what will I do with myself now?
All the stuff I have, all the stuff I want, all the stuff for which I work, and all the stuff that doesn’t fall into any of those three categories — someday it will all be gone.
“Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness?” (2 Peter 3:11).
Recently it struck me that I no longer work so that I may get certain things. The focus of my work has been earning the means by which to pay bills and eliminate debt. To me that seems more “noble,” somehow, but still shallow.
Even so, considering that everything I see will one day be destroyed, I ought to focus my life on being holy and godly.
May God teach me and help me to seek first His kingdom and righteousness, laying up treasures in heaven.
