"Those who use the things of this world, YOU SHOULD NOT BECOME ATTACHED
to them. As we all know the world will soon pass away!"
The Pharaohs of Egypt are the best example of those failing our One Truth Today. They went to the extreme effort to build pyramids that could house their things of this world, and then they passed away! One thing happens to us all, the rich man and the poor, we all pass away. As believer's we all know and believe that the world and everything in it will soon pass away and the Lord is trying to warn us, YOU SHOULD NOT BECOME ATTACHED to anything here on earth! Do you have an inventory of all the things that you possess presently? Are there some things you believe you can not live without? Are you attached to your home, some jewelry, some family heirlooms, your car or electronic toys? What about the land that defines your family heritage are you attached to it at all costs? Do you feel if you lose them you will die, or do you realize that when you die you will lose them? You may use them, but you will lose them!
Some believe the saying that "the one with the most toys when they die is the winner". Can you be any more wrong than that? What would it profit you if you gained and possessed the whole earth but lost your eternal soul? Everything you had would be given to someone else when you died and in the end it will all burn when the earth passes away! You would be left with nothing. Worse yet you could be condemned to eternal damnation and separation from God because you chose to reject the Salvation of God. You came into this world with nothing and you will leave with nothing when you go! Remember we are just passing through this world and it is not our home. YOU SHOULD NOT BECOME ATTACHED!
If you want to reduce your anxiety and stress in this world, then you need to understand who owns everything. Everything you have God has given you on a temporary basis and He expects us to be good stewards. You do not own anything here on earth. The test for you here on earth is to choose to Know, Love and Fear God and accept His free gift of eternal life and Salvation.
You can not lose what you have never owned. If a house burns down, or some jewelry is stolen, or everything is taken from you, the proper perspective is that "the Lord is my Shepherd, I have all that I need". Your world will pass away soon and although you use the things of this world, YOU SHOULD NOT BECOME ATTACHED!
