The pagans chase food, drink, and clothing
A simple but profound truth, and the pinnacle of Jesus' statement that you cannot serve God and Money: Pursuit of a limited good leaves one's return necessarily limited. Life lived in pursuit of money leaves one's (potential) return only those things which money can buy.

Hmmm.... The proverbial law of sowing and reaping surfaces again. It has always interested me to think about the give and take of sowing and reaping. A lto of people lately have asked why they don't experience more in their spiritual walks. Then they proceed to tell me that they do their "devotions" because they know they're supposed to, but they really spend that time worrying about all the prayer concerns they're about to bring before the Lord, wondering if He'll ever hear them. Meanwhile, they didn't seek the Lord and He wasn't found. Meanwhile, food, drink, clothes, jobs, cars, and the rest all become very important and cloud the really important things. Good thoughts, AP.
Wow, thanks for this insight Aaron. Exactly what I needed to hear at the moment.
