Yesterday I read:
Colossians 3:5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
Verse 6 is the kicker-if we put our time and out energy on worldly things instead of heavenly things then we encourage the wrath of God to come. I don't think we want that! I wonder how much our current society encourages the wrath of God and if they know or care that they are doing this.
After pondering this yesterday, this evening I went to a service where the speaker talked about blessings (as it is Thanksgiving). He covered what the world considers blessings- like wealth, a good career, nice house, car, etc. and how that compares with what God considers blessings- righteousness being credited to us for what Jesus did, the blessing of truth clearing our mind, blessing of wisdom, blessings that come from obedience.
