Hell and Destruction are never full; So the eyes of man are never satisfied.
- Proverbs 27:20 (NKJV)
Our outlook on life often seems to depend on our circumstances, wouldn’t you agree?
If we are healthy and have plenty of money, a great job that we love and a wonderful family, we have a positive attitude and a pleasant demeanor.
Sadly, so many people in the world just can’t get enough of even one of those things, and therefore are never satisfied.
I heard a song on the radio last week just released in 2024 from Cochren & Co. called Money Can’t Buy and I was floored at how the lyrics resonated with me:
I set my sights on shiny things
That crumble into rust
That fade into the dust
I bought the lie that someday I
Would finally have enough
But it never is enough
So, wake me up
From this slumber that I'm in
Take me up
To a brand new horizon
Oh Lord, give me eyes to see
That what I need don't cost a thing
You fill my life
With something money can't buy
I'm done chasing after gold
Rip the price tag off my soul
You fill my life
With something money can't buy
(Something money
Something money can't buy
Something money
Something money can't buy)
It's the peace that comes from perfect love
The wonder in the stars
The beating in my heart
Sometimes you gotta stop
And look at what you got
That's when you realize
Ooh, the gift it is to be alive
Oh Lord, give me eyes to see
That what I need don't cost a thing
You fill my life
With something money can't buy
I'm done chasing after gold
Rip the price tag off my soul
You fill my life
With something money can't buy
Your love is all I've ever needed
Only You, only You can wake me up
From this slumber that I'm in
Take me up
To a brand new horizon
...
Some of those lyrics may have hit a little too close to home.
Sometimes we really do need to stop and look around, to see everything that we have no matter how little that may be and realize that it is a gift to be alive.
We try to set an example for our children and our grandchildren and it seems as though the last few generations have been setting the wrong example.
Money can’t buy our way into heaven.
Money can’t by love.
Money can’t buy happiness.
Money can’t buy life.
But God can give us all of that and more.
