Life can get busy. It can seem that we are moving faster, trying to do more in order to get more. We think we can work harder and through our own efforts we will earn more money and riches. In the process, we can wear ourselves out. While we want to make a good life for ourselves and our families, we need to be focused on more than riches!
We should not focus all of our time and energy on trying to increase the amount of money or stuff we have. We should not wear ourselves out in pursuit of things that will not last. Instead of trusting ourselves and trying to get ahead on our own, we need to rely on God. We can allow Him to fill our hearts, to guide us in His ways. When we commit ourselves to God, we can trust Him and find that life is more than riches!
Do not wear yourself out chasing temporary things. Follow God and find eternal riches in Him!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your promises and path to eternity. Help me to put my faith and trust in You instead of trying to do things on my own. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
