What Is Truly Important?

0
0

We live our lives as Christians without a good set of priorities, I’m afraid.

We value prestige, position, possessions, and personalities too much.

We like preaching that tickles the ears, moistens the eyes, gives a smile, but leaves us truly the same as we were when we entered the building.

We rate one’s successfulness by how much they have, or how much they gain.

Is that really what is important?

Jesus told the Pharisees “No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.   And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.   And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.”  (Luke 16:13-15) KJV

We must choose which master we will serve……will it be God or possessions?

Will we be covetous, or desire God?

To desire the true riches (God and His glory) goes counter to the wisdom of the world.  Will we be like the Pharisees and reject the truth, or will we pursue God?  Remember that the values of the world are hated by God.

What is truly important?

What will you choose?

Just musing…
