Do Earthly Matters Rule Us ?

Do Earthly Matters Rule Us?                                                         

To often our focus in on our physical existence, we measure our success by what we own, how good we think we look and the number of friends we have.  God sees things very differently than we do, unless our focus is on Christ alone, we will fall into the trap of the natural thinking of man. 

It might be good to take inventory, perhaps taking a day out of our lives and closely watching how we respond to things and people, we may be more focused on earthly matters than we think we are.

Job 22:25-29

New King James Version (NKJV)

"25 Yes, the Almighty will be your gold And your precious silver;

26 For then you will have your delight in the Almighty, And lift up your face to God.

27 You will make your prayer to Him, He will hear you, And you will pay your vows.

28 You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you;

So light will shine on your ways.

29 When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’ Then He will save the humble person."
