“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)
How many times have we wasted so much time and energy on things that this world has to offer? We chase after material objects, and feelings rather than the things GOD desires us to do. We waste so much space that God wishes to use for His glory, and His purpose.
We see them on the news, waiting in department store lines or at Athlete’s Foot; chasing after items that we feel will bring us pleasure, and closure. Items we thought would bring us happiness, in the end leave us deprived, and detached from the GOD who loves us.
We need to turn to GOD to fill those empty spaces in our hearts. We need to stop chasing what the world has to offer, after all, those things will decay and rust, but the things GOD has in store for us, will not. We need to love the things of the Lord, rather than the world. Stop chasing these worldly items; start chasing what God wants for you. Being a tool for him and not yourself.
Please, stop wasting time!
