God's Kingdom - The Government That We Need

What Real Treasure Is

"I saw all the works that were done under the sun, and, look! everything was vanity and a striving after wind."

-Ecclesiastes 1:14

Thus observed the wise King Solomon of old. The same situation goes on even now in these modern times. Many people strive to work so hard  in order to acquire material possessions, prestige and power, but to what end? Do such acquisitions bring them true happiness and satisfaction? Do their hard works extend their lives on earth?

Just like what this adage says, "everything is vanity and a striving after wind." For as soon as man thinks he  has acquired so much, he would start going downhill to the grave. And he hasn't even got to enjoy the fruits of his hard works because he was too busy working the whole time until death has overtaken him. So he worked hard for nothing.

 It's better to have a simple life and enjoy every moment of it with our loved ones. For then, we can truly say that we have lived a good life.

In line with this, here is what the Greatest Teacher wisely taught us:

“Stop storing up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal. Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

- Matthew 6:19-21

These are spiritual treasures that we would rather store up because they will last forever. By doing good works, serving our Creator and our fellowmen and living a godly life, we store up treasures in heaven which will give us a truly satisfying and successful life now and an eternity of wonderful life in the new world that will come very soon.

Clothed in Beauty

"Also on the matter of clothing, why are you anxious? Take a lesson from the lilies of the field, how they are growing; they do not toil, nor do they spin; but I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. If now God thus clothes the vegetation of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much rather clothe you....?" - Matthew 6:28-30

This is one of the series of lessons that the Greatest Teacher taught his disciples when he delivered his Sermon on the Mount. He directed his listeners' attention to simple natural creations and showed them what lessons they could learn from them.

In these particular passages, he emphasizes on people's anxieties about what to put on. He stressed that God knows all that we need, including our clothings, and so we should not worry too much about such things because He willl provide for us much more than He provides for His inanimate creations. All we have to do is to  seek  the Kingdom first, and then He will give us whatever we need in due time. And we must also have strong faith in His promise to provide for our necessities. It is also important to keep a "simple eye", not desiring or asking for more than what we essentially need in order to survive.
