Can't Take it with you
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
- 1 Timothy 6:7
Have you noticed as we mature in life that our overall desires change? For example, when I was younger I had to have the newest gadget that everybody had even if it was something I did not need. Now I find myself desiring fewer things beyond my basic needs.
Sure every once in a while a new shiny thing pops up and we think 'Should I get that? For me, an unspoken sense of reason takes over and it does not have the same appeal it used to have. I am not saying it’s wrong to attain new things but many times we want stuff we don’t need.
â€I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind - Ecclesiastes 1:14
The goal of advertising is to appeal to our fleshly desire to have a better and more fulfilled life. Mature wisdom reveals that nothing man-made can ever fulfill the true desires of our hearts.
The only thing that matters is our relationship with God through Jesus and the people we love. Everything else is temporary and will not last.
Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ - Philippians 3:8
The two essentials everyone wants in life are unconditional love and acceptance. Only Faith in Jesus Christ the redeemer of our sins can provide that kind of lasting hope and peace!
And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment - 1 John 3:23
So next time we feel tempted to buy into the hype the world is trying to sell us let's ask ourselves three simple questions
.1.) Do we need this?
2.) Can it truly improve the quality of our life?
3.) Will it take away or distract us from our relationship with God?
If after all that we are still unsure we should pray and ask the holy spirit to reveal the Father's wisdom found in the pages of the bible. It's not always easy to do but in time things will change and we will feel more free.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also - Matthew 6:21
