Do we misplace our priorities, confusing true peace, and joy with the idea of solving all our earthly problems and obtaining earthly possessions? Stretching ourselves too thin—physically, emotionally, and financially—trying to find peace and rest in the material world. Ironically, it only creates the opposite effect, leaving our minds in constant chaos and exhaustion. Most importantly robbing us of spiritual peace and strength. It is like going on vacation, running ragged in the pursuit of fun and relaxation, and coming back feeling more stressed and worn out than when we left. For what?
Self-examination forces us to ask, are we becoming what we despise? If so, it is time to make some changes.
“Better is a little with the fear of the LORD, Than great treasure with trouble.” Proverbs 15:16
