       It’s a higher calling than the world, who, again, just lives out basic societal character traits, traits which include immorality, revenge, back stabbing, lying, getting ahead at any cost, not playing by proper rules, whatever you want to name. This is how they live, and we are to live in a different way. To “seek the things that are above.” ‘Above’ things. Things which are like God. Jesus would also tell us, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal” (Matthew 6:19, 20, ESV). Much could be said about these verses, but let us focus today on the part of it which pertains, again, to our own desire within ourselves. If we are focused on the earth, and what the earth has to offer, and what the earth can bring to us, we are creating a life for ourselves where all of our worth and value is found here.
