Things. And stuff. There’s no end to them. Stroll through any department store or home improvements store or clothing store or footwear store. What do they all have in common that you don’t need?
You guessed it (I hope). Things and stuff.
I’m not saying you never need clothes or shoes or something for your home. But I AM saying when you “go shopping” just to find something to buy, you already have too many things and stuff.
And, if you’re not some sort of artificial intelligence bot designed to scan emails and websites, you’re a human being. So you’re subject to the temptations all humans experience. And you WILL face the problems. And you won’t always overcome them. Because you can’t withstand the world on your own.
Nope. You need help.
So, obviously, you need the government to step in and show you the way to overcome obstacles. Because government officials are elected by “we the people.” And when people vote, they default back to their wisdom instead of their feelings. In other words, when it comes time to vote, people place right and wrong above their own self interests.
Right?
Yeah, if you believe that, you should reconsider the things and stuff the media pump out every second.
No, the world will NEVER show you the right way.
But thankfully the Way is easy to find and so easy even a young kid can understand.
But phones and tablets and laptops can charm you away from the Way. Unless you lift up your eyes and look for your true hope. Or at least use those devices to learn about the Way.
Now, I’ll leave you with this lyrical version of who you’ll find when you learn about the Way…
Don’t give any thing all you’ve got.
Look for wisdom no matter what.
Every thing can take you away
From what matters most day to day.
Please remember you will go on
Even after your body’s gone.
Where you go will depend on you.
Here’s what I suggest that you do:
Don’t let any thing steal your soul.
Ask for God to help you control
Your desires for things and not Him.
He can fill your heart to the brim.
