Jesus Christ is the only hope of man in this life and in the life to come. Every other hope will fail. Only the hope built around Jesus Christ that will stand the test of time. Whatever you are chasing after now will one day fail you, but If you anchor your life around Jesus Christ, you will not be disappointed. What are you chasing after?Is it wealth you are chasing after? Is it fame or power? Is it education? Or to leave an inheritance to children and grandchildren? What are you chasing after? All these things will fail, only the hope in Christ that will stand the test of time.
The Bible says: "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasures is, there will your heart be also" Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV).
I'm not saying you should not work for a living but focusing on what to eat, wear and how to gather wealth for yourself alone will eventually make you a loser at the end of the day (John 12:25).
A life built around possessions will not be stable. A man's life is not determined by the amount of wealth he possesses (Luke 12:15).
Labour not to be rich, let Jesus Christ be the anchor of your life, the reason why you live. Live and labour for good works, so that your life will be full of good works. Don't limit your life to material possession alone. Life is worth more than the whole wealth in the world (Matthew 16:26). So, why should you spend your entire life to chasing after possessions?
May you receive wisdom to live for Christ all the days of your life in Jesus name.
