I just started my part-time job this week, and was reminded that I now have a way to make money! However, I was thinking about what I would do with a lot of money - buy a big house or nice apartment, but then what? I was thinking about the phrase "money can't buy you happiness" and I realized how true it is.
I wore my AMI 2013 (Kingdom Vision) shirt the other day and was reminded of how important it is for us to have a eternal mindset rather than a short-sighted one. From the AMI Quiet Times, Colossians 3:2 stood out to me:
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
Colossians 3:2
I don't want to fall into a trap of being comfortable with my life or striving for more money just for the sake of status or having more material things. I want to be Kingdom-minded, and that may mean giving up Earthly treasures. I pray that as I focus more on the cross, my desires to have much in this world can fade to wanting more for His eternal Kingdom.
Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere
Psalm 84:10b
