You Can Win, And Still Lose

Daily Reading—Judges 10-11 / Luke 12:36-59
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
People today buy more and more things. So much so that they rent places apart from home just to store all the extra things. Our closets are full, basements packed, garages overflowing, sheds filled to the roof, and we still think we need more stuff. Then later in life, we downsize. We sell off all those things at a fraction of the purchase price to a younger person who thinks they need it all, too. I wonder sometimes if it is not all the same stuff just floating from house to house.
The end of the matter is, when we die, none of that stuff will even matter. Jesus said our real life should not be filled with stuff; our life should be filled with HIM.
