“WHAT REALLY MATTERS?”
Philippians 3:7
But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.”

There are many burial sites in Egypt left by the former mighty rulers of that ancient nation. Most of these self-proclaimed gods or goddesses wanted to be buried with masses of gold and precious stones that was meant to provide for their afterlife. In the majority of cases, however, tomb robbers discovered the burial sites and plundered everything of value.

We may shake our heads at the foolish idea that we can take anything with us when we depart this life. In Job 1:21 that righteous man gives us wonderful words of wisdom: Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there.”

Jesus shared the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, and we see that the rich man had absolutely nothing of this world’s goods with him -- not even a drop of cool water. That should warn us against relying on the things of this world.

What should really capture our efforts are the things that will last for eternity. The more we devote ourselves to the things of God, the more we will find the love and joy He promises to His children that He cherishes. That is what really matters!

Blessings dear hearts!  Walk with God today and be a blessing!
