Why bother

Why spend money on what does not satisfy. why spend your wages and still be hungry? listen to me and what I say and you will enjoy the best food of all. - Isaiah 55: 2 


" Do not store up riches for your selves here on earth, where moths and rust destroy and robbers steal. Instead , store up riches for your selves in heaven, where moths and rust will not destroy, an robbers cannot steal." - Matthew 6:19-21 

    When I first read this passage from Isaiah, I was amazed in what it said, because it all makes sense. Why spend the money you have on things you don't need? This passage is saying one great thing that we all ignore in this life. Why spend money on things like cell phones, antiques, movies and many other things. Yes they are all nice to have, but think again  Do you really need them? The lord doesn't want all these things to come in the way of him. For example, say you are you and God is God. Now place objects in between you and God; school, friends, movies, cell phones, and riches and God is the last thing on your list...... God wants to be first but with all the distractions he can't be... Sadly...


      Isaiah is also saying stop wasting your money on these things, cause you'll be still be hungry. Now, this you can think of in two ways.  Literally be hungry or being hungry for the life giving bread and water. So it can say don't waste your money on things you don't need and use it to feed your self, so you won't be hungry, or it can say to don't bother with the things on this earth and ask for that living water and bread, and make God first.

Matthew says don't store up riches. It is sort of the same passage from Isaiah. Don't store up riches here on earth because robbers will come and rust and moths will destroy them. So don't bother with them if it's going to get stolen. When you think of storing riches in heaven, it's not the riches we have here on earth. The riches in heaven is peace, faith, love, hope, joy, happiness, and many others, God wants these for us so that we may be happy and live for him in the heavenly kingdom

      As I said these two passages are the same, they both talk about riches and not getting them if you don't need them. This is very simple if you don't need it and you want play/wear it/ or do whatever then don't get it. The world today gets so distracted by all this new technology and we think it's so cool, but think of how it is for the enviroment and all the radiation this new stuff gives off.

Satisfy or not Satisfy, Money or Food, Life or Death, Heaven or Hell, Water or Fire. Your choice. God lays down 2 choices life or death. Then we can answer all the rest!
