Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all.‭‭

We all have dreams and goals we want to see accomplished in our lives. The average person desires a family, a debt free home, a couple of cars, and an enjoyable high salary career with great benefits.

These are great goals, but there is one problem. Where is God? How is God being glorified? At the end of the day, our ultimate goal is to glorify God. If we’re not glorifying God, everything we strive to obtain is vanity. 

As believers, we need to make sure we’re not so focused on obtaining tangible desires, meanwhile, neglecting God. If our pursuit of “things” outweighs our pursuit of God, we’ve magnified those things above God. In everything we do, we need to ask ourselves, is God glorified? 

There is nothing wrong with having desires and goals, but our priority should be God and accomplishing His will in the earth. 

1 John 2:17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
