“And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”

Matthew 6:28-29 KJV

Do you ever notice how we tend to place emphasis on things that don’t really matter that much? 

We get frazzled when things aren’t just so. We don’t have the latest thing, and we move mountains to get it, thinking to ourselves, I must have it! 

Something breaks or gets torn or gets stained and we freak out, thinking oh no! that was my favorite such and such...

I wonder what would happen if we would put that kind of gusto into our walk with the Lord? 

Oh no, I forgot to spend time with the Lord this morning! “Jesus, I’m sorry!”

Darn, there I went again doing things on my own! “Jesus, I need you!”

I wonder what would happen if we traded a little more earth for a little more heaven? 

I wonder what would happen if we traded a little more temporal for a little more eternal?

How would our perspectives change? Our perceptions? 

Today, I just wanted to remind us all that the things we have - the clothes, the cars, the toys, the stuff, just don’t compare to our beautiful Lord and Savior!

You ever hear the old song...”You can’t get to heaven in a (insert your favorite item here)...”

As we scurry and hurry about our day today, don’t forget to take some time to focus on the things that truly matter!
