What are you living for?

"Is what you live for worth dying for?" 

idols. . .gods. . .addictions. . .you can call them anything you want but they are there.  Here are a few.

*Money
*Relationships
*Shopping/Clothes
*Appearance
*Work/jobs

Do these sound familiar? They do to me.  Like any human being I have trouble with 'other' idols, apart from God.  I have to constantly remind myself that my eyes need to be on God and not on worldly things.  God talks about storing up the right kind of treasures in Matthew 6:19-24.  I think Mary had it right, she treasured up what she experienced and pondered it on her heart, in Luke 2:19.  Paul also says we need to think on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, and if anything is excellent or praiseworthy. Those are the things we need to think on and ponder.  :) So try that, whenever you are pondering things ask yourself if they meet the qualifications of above. 

So what are you living for?  Are you living for that next paycheck so you can go shopping?  Are you living for the next set of new make-up?  Are you living for that moment that you get to see that special someone?  We should be living in a way that glorifies God.
