For Worldly Things

We have been warned about trying to pursue those meaningless things in life that we prioritize well before our own salvation. So we appreciate that lusting over jewels, mansions and all the other material luxuries is wrong but have we been overlooking the simplest of things that we consider essential. Do we realize that putting food, drink and clothes are equally as dangerous to our salvation?  

 


For Worldly Things

 

Forfeit the thoughts of things worldly

On these things they shall be no eternity

Rejoicing in the things of the world

Would forfeit eternity for any boy or girl

Observe the fowl of the air

Reap not still they haven’t a care

Lillie of the fields, how they grow

David’s Solomon in his glory was no better show

Life is not pondering on raiment, drink or meat

Your thoughts shouldn’t be on things to eat

The Heavenly Father knows you need of these

Have faith as you pray upon your knees

In Him you must trust, seek His Kingdom first

Never put this priority in reverse

God will ensure all things be added unto you

Seek first His Kingdom and your troubles will be through
