Cares of This World

• 

Even the richest man does not have everything. There is something that controls him – I bet there’s something that bothers him. Things do slip through his hands and escape. It makes me realize that when I have the millions and billions and all the lions that come with it, it will just be a little fraction of all the treasures there is in the world.

People get rich everyday. There is room for everyone; there’s room for you to have your own share. We are all custodians of something, if you wanna see it that way. Chasing the things of this world would just leave you tired at the end of the day. So why boast and be proud about just a little fraction of a whole package?

Why chase after something that won’t satisfy? All these things we work so hard for, the ones we have sleepless nights over (I’m on this table), the ones we cry over and think we might never achieve are all temporal – Ecclesiastes 2:22 says “for what does a man get from all his labor and from the striving and sorrow of his heart with which he labors under the sun?”

I’m not saying we shouldn’t pursue all these nice stuff. I have come to realize that Christ has everything. If there’s something missing after all the hard work and toiling then it means I have to find the missing piece. Nobody dies and carries their riches, let’s name them: estates, cars, clothes, stocks, toothbrush, designer stuff, side chicks, main chicks, or boyfriends with them – they leave them all behind. They might have an expensive funeral but even that they won’t even enjoy it because they’re no more. They give other people the right to watch over the things they’ve left behind and the cycle continues.

Jesus is our center piece, the missing piece; He has it all. We can’t have the world without Jesus. We have the world through Jesus. If we have Jesus, then, we have everything. Chasing the world is vanity if Christ is not in it. The cares of this world is plenty; there’s something for each day – its yoke and weight so heavy it gets tiring. But Christ makes it all easy, His burden is much lighter and His yoke is easy.

The world was around before we were born, let’s not try to figure it out on our own. If you ask me, I would rather hang out with the Guy that created it than the guy who is trying to figure it out. I pray that you analyze your life and choose the path of Jesus Christ. The cares of this world is not worth your soul, choose Jesus.

God bless you. Amen!
