Don't get distracted by the pursuit of Wordly Things

Major Prophets - Old Testament


S - Scripture
Jeremiah 3 v. 16  And when you have multiplied and increase in the land, in those days, says the Lord, they shall no more say, 'The Ark of the covenant of the Lord.' It shall not come to mind, or be remembered, or missed; it shall not be made against.

O - Observation
Don't get distracted!!! Pursuing dreams provided by the world; wealth, fortune, fame, power has a way of diluting the Pursuit of God. It can cause short term pain. 1 Timothy 6 v. 10, " For the love of money is the root of all evils; it is thru this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their hearts with many pangs." Pursing worldly goals is NOT fulfilling. There will always be heartache and emptiness, since our bodies are always craving more. Pursuing the worldly dreams impacts the eternal as well. Matthew 16 v. 26, "For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life?" 

A - Application
Am I distracted? Am I pursing worldly goals or Godly goals?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to keep my eye on the prize, you. Love Will
