This world is so enticing. So many things that make you want more. Food, cars, houses, entertainment. So accessible and easy to enjoy. And as the world makes advancements in technology, it'll be even more crazy to find things like 3D TVs and interactive computer screens. Next thing you now, they can make a holodeck from Star Trek.
i say all these things because it's harder for Christians to be in this world, among these things, and not be tempted by it. We can enjoy them, but it's easy to feel unsatisfied with just a few items. There'll always be a longing for more. At least, for me there is. Either that or the lack of it that drives the desire to have something that others have. Contentment is key, but it's such a struggle to dwell in. Well, giving myself some encouragement that this computer is still running fine and i'm not in a rush to pick another up. Then again, computers are just machines now. Further back in time, computers were like muscle cars for some Americans. Build-it-yourself, electronic hot rods to power the latest games. Not anymore. Now, i seek even more expensive stuff, but none i can pursue. None that i should. God must always come first. Anything before, it's an idol.
