What Matters Most

Hurricane Harvey is a reminder to focus on what matters most.  If you had 10 minutes to leave your home that you have poured your entire life into because your life was in danger what would you take? We expend too much of our time and energy in pursuit of greener grass, accomplishments, working, and time-consuming home projects.  The truth, we don’t take anything when we die.  Hurricane Harvey reminded us that our material and worldly possessions are not so valuable as we thought. Although we need money to satisfy our basic human needs, food, clothes, shelter, and to pay our bills.  The non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being – Steve Jobs.  The richest people cannot take their money with them, and the most humbled cannot take their pride after death. For we brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out of it (Timothy 6:7). In this journey of life, someone close to you will be diagnosed with a life threatening disease, die from natural causes, or from tragedy.  Bottom line is at some point we will all die, it’s inevitable!  This morning I asked myself, “what is really important to me and what can I do today?”  So what will you take in those 10 minutes?
