What do you seek after?

Thank you LORD for everything. We have all been given so much, sometimes too much in my opinion.

Those things often times get in the way of our focus on the LORD when it should be doing the exact opposite.

We have so many 'things'. We spend so much time, money and effort accumulating stuff that we lose sight of the bigger picture. We lose sight of the fact that GOD has blessed us so that we can give back and bring glory to HIM.

What drives you to wake up and go to your job or to school or whatever it is you do? Is your drive so that you can have more stuff? What is most important to you? Is there some sort of imaginary point that you have in your head that if you get there, you tell yourself(and GOD) that you'll be content? Or if you're like me, you think things like, if I just have that one thing, then I will be happy and I won't want anything else. Have you ever gotten that thing you wanted? I bet it didn't satisfy you.

In Ecclesiastes 5:10 it says, "The one who loves money is never satisfied with money."

At one point last year, I really wanted an iPad. I love reading so I got it in my head that I had to have it so I could read on basketball trips in the dark. I told myself I would be content if I just got this one thing.

In Corinthians 1:7(MSG) it says, "You don't need a thing, you've got it all! All GOD's gifts are right in front of you." So I challenge you to write down what your priorities were today. What were you seeking after today?

2 Corinthians 4:18(MSG) "There's far more than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today and gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see will last forever." Seek after GOD because through HIM there is joy and what you get through a relationship with HIM will last forever.

Oh and by the way, I did not get an iPad. I purchased a 4 dollar light that attaches to my book.
