I’m reminding myself with one verse from Bible (Mat. 6:25). It is written there that we should first seek the Kingdom of Heaven and it’s rightness and the rest of the stuff would be handed over to us. Watt is the stuff? Jesus talks about it in the previous verse. That are the things that we need it for life.
Sometimes I like to compare. Sometimes I say myself that it would be great to have a lot of money, that it would be great to be famous and respected. Yes, it would be good, but it is not the first thing I should be thinking of, it is not the most important stuff. The most important in my life should be God’s Kingdom and His righteousness.
It sounds abstract but I guess that slowly but surely I’m finding out some particular goals which seem to apply for my life:
Do not be afraid of the future but have faith that God is involved. Do not look at how much the others have but be thankful for what you have. The stuff you do, do at the best way – at work, at home at church – do not cheat at it.
I guess that when I manage it I move some more steps further and would be given more. It is worth it. No money can replace the Holy Spirit in the long therm perspective.
