There are so many things we can pine after in this life. Money, power, comfort, love, fame, and this list can go on and on. Yet, these things can fade away with time, so we should be investing in the things that are eternal (Matt 6:19-20). We can also be so consumed with our desires that we do not realize our faithful pursuit of them has led us away from our relationship with God into a depraved, selfish, and abusive relationship with the world and its trappings. How do we fix it? Repent, and do the first things again, understanding that the blessings of God's Kingdom are greater than the blessing of this world.
