Blessed that I am Setting My Eyes Upon That Which Is, Jesus Christ and Heaven!

 

Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? 

- Proverbs 23:5

I saw this quote today in my Mornings with God app and found it interesting as well. Too many people today are chasing after things of this world, material goods, carnal desires, things here, instead of thinking about spending eternity in Heaven with Jesus Christ and being a good person following the commandments of God and teachings of Jesus. That seems to be the biggest problem with our world today, that is why our world is so dysfunctional and filled with crime and war. It is sad. Anyway, I hope it helps and you can reflect on it some to bring solace to you as well. The App said today that, "People are badly cheated in this world. They imagine that the things they can see are the real things, the gold, lands, and stocks are the true treasures. So they toil for those things and gather them into their possession, piling up what they suppose to be wealth. Thus they live in pomp, with their fine houses, and all their brilliant show. They call themselves millionaires. But one day their supposed riches take to themselves wings and fly away like eagles. Or they mat keep their wealth, perchance, and die at lasting the midst of it, and have a great funeral; but they find that they cannot carry a penny of it with them. “How much did he leave?” was asked about a rich man who had died. “He left it all,” was the answer. If men only knew that there are things which will never fly away, they would no longer live for the wealth that perisheth; they would pass by the glittering unrealities to lay hold of the true riches. He who is rich toward God is the millionaire."

Humans have to decide, are we going to follow God or are we going to follow the things of this world which are not.
