What do we live for? As a Christian, the obvious answer without thinking is Jesus. But if we are to think about how we actually do live instead of how we should strive to live, what are we living for?
Our world revolves around money. That's what we live for. Why do we go to school? To be educated, so we can get a good job and support ourselves. That sums up the first 25 years of any North American citizens life. Everything we do costs money. We need money if we want to own anything, go anywhere, or have food and clothes. We don't even realize how dependent we are on money.
What if we switched everything around and became dependent on God. If we counted on God to provide us entertainment, food, shelter, purpose. What if we counted on Him to take us places and what if we learned from Him.
It couldn't happen though. Because that's not safe. We're secure with the way we live, being able to compare our lives to one another and measure how good our life is. If we lived totally 100% dependent on God there's no telling what our lives might look like. The unknown can be scary.
