What do we live for?
Let's take a look at yesterday, what did we do with that day? What did we focus on, what did we put our efforts toward?
Reading Matthew 6 today, Jesus said,
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV)
When we were in high school, the relationships we had, our "popularity" or lack of it, what others thought of us, all these things and more consumed us. Yet the moment we graduated and left that place, all of it, in an instant was insignificant. Looking back, years later how many of us would love to go back to that time, with what we know now?
One day, we will step into eternity and this life we spent on earth will end. Many of the things we worried about yesterday, will matter less than our high school experience does now.
What different choices will we make today, in light of eternity?
