Reflection

This verse encourages us to take inventory of our lives. Are we investing in our spiritual growth and relationship with God, or are we solely focused on temporary, worldly success? Are we willing to compromise our values and integrity for short-term gains, or are we committed to living a life that honors God?

True fulfillment and purpose come from aligning our lives with God’s will and seeking His kingdom above all else. When we prioritize our relationship with God, we gain a sense of peace, joy, and contentment that no amount of worldly success can provide.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, help us to see the true value of our souls and to prioritize our relationship with You above all else. Give us the wisdom to make choices that honor You and to seek eternal treasures rather than temporary gains. Strengthen our faith and guide us in living a life that reflects Your love and truth.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
