Why do we worry about so many things? Why do we get so stressed out in our daily life?
We are concerned about our "career". How are we going to make a living?
How are we going to pay our bills?
Where are we going to live? What are we going to drive?
Do we have the nicest clothes? The most up-to-date styles?
Are our children in the best schools? Are we giving our children everything they need and everything they want?
What are we going to do for FUN this weekend? Where are we going to go? Who are we going to invite to go with us?
It's time to plan our vacation,,,,where are we going to go?

But as humans, as a society, why arent we concerned about our souls?
Do we just try not to think about that? Do we put that on the back burner?
Something so VERY, VERY IMPORTANT,,,,,,we just sweep it aside?
WHY?
For so MANY years, thats what I did! The only time I REALLY thought about it was when I laid my head down at night to go to sleep. It bothered me GREATLY! But eventually I would just fall asleep,,,,and I wouldnt have to worry about it again till the next night!

We make sure we have everything INSURED! Our vehicles, Our health, Our homes....
ALL that is Important.....
But what about ETERNITY? DO YOU have Insurance for that??

Jesus said:
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.
Matt. 16:25-27

As human beings,,,,What are our priorities?

Very nice devotional and a great reminder to remember what our priorties are. I find myself too often these days worrying about that which is not important. As a matter of fact, we're not suppose to worry at all as christians!

It has just been on my heart here lately,,,,So much "stuff" online,,,,on FACEBOOK,,,,about "partying"! Where are we going? When are we going? What are we going to drink? HOW MUCH are we going to drink? UGH!
I sometimes worry too much about my job and how bills are going to get paid! and I shouldnt worry about that!
