Job 1:21 (LSB) 21 And he said, \u201cNaked I came from my mother\u2019s womb, And naked I shall return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be the name of Yahweh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sometimes we need a gentle reminder to help us put things in life into proper perspective.<\/p>\n

The world we live in has a way of getting into our heads, playing games with our minds and our thinking.<\/p>\n

And if we are not careful, we will fall into the mindset that tells us we must forfeit our lives in search of stuff; wealth and material things that are more than we need. And we work our lives away in that pursuit.<\/p>\n

But as we mature, and we gain wisdom and understanding, we begin to see things in a different light. We begin to recognize the spinning of our wheels in pursuit of tangible things for what it is; chasing after the wind.<\/p>\n

Yes, God wants<\/i> to bless us. He wants us to have the necessities of life.<\/p>\n

But a life spent with the primary goal of amassing wealth simply for the sake of having wealth is not what we are instructed to do.<\/p>\n

Solomon had more wealth and material possessions than anyone before or after him.<\/p>\n

And what did he say in the latter years of his life? It is all vanity and chasing after the wind.<\/p>\n

This should be an eye-opener for us. We are no different than Solomon.<\/p>\n

We are born, we live, and we die. We come into the world naked and empty-handed. We leave the same way; naked and empty-handed.<\/p>\n

This would appear to be our lot as human beings.<\/p>\n

But our relationship with Christ sets us apart from the world.<\/p>\n

We have hope, not in the things of this world, but in Christ and the redemption He offers us through His shed blood.<\/p>\n

Let us determine in our hearts to pursue Him relentlessly, placing Him and our relationship with Him high above all else in this life.<\/p>\n

And as we do this, the other pieces of our lives will fall into place by God\u2019s grace and His faithfulness.<\/p>\n
