Eternal Values

*MEDITATION*

John 6:24 "So the people, finding that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, themselves got into the small boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus."AMP

Point to ponder on: Seek after things that are of eternal values.

People sought after Jesus because he has what could satisfy what they considered their needs. They were desperate to locate Him but it was all about food(daily bread) and not because they love Jesus and His Word. It was about what they will gain to satisfy their present hunger which has no eternal value. But Jesus knows human intentions and motives and so He confronted them in their vanity. We also need to stop and ask the big question, "What am I desperately pursuing that is not of eternal value that I have raised above Christ by my motive and action." In the kingdom our significance is not in our earthly possessions but in Christ Jesus. "And He said to them, Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness (the immoderate desire for wealth, the greedy longing to have more); for a man's life does not consist in and is not derived from possessing overflowing abundance or that which is over and above his needs."Luke 12:15-AMP
We don't live just for now and instant gratification but for eternal value, something that will speak for us in eternity. Therefore, let us seek Jesus not just for our daily bread, breakthrough, miracle, healing, etc. He knows we need them and He will satisfy us, but let us set our hearts on things above and of eternal value.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy His peace.
