Store up treasure in Heaven

where no thief  breaks in & no moth destroys

Half way through DEEPER, I am almost like a social outcast without facebook! Man, I would normally surf FB every now and then, but what do I do now? ~C'mon, gal, fill it up with something else~~ That's the whole point of fasting from FB anyway, to use my time to seek more of God =v= oh yeah, what can i read or hear that can give me more revelation of God?

There are plenty resources I can choose from, to regularly meditate on:

1. the gospel of John, a chapter a day; It's full of Jesus' teaching while He was still on Earth.

2. daily SOAP journal email from church in the season of DEEPER

3. heartlight.org today's devotional

Yet, today I meditated on "American Dream" by casting Crown, which led me to this literature.

The most wise and wealthy king of Israel, king Solomon, who wrote the book of Proverbs, also wrote a journal on the meaning of life, as recorded in the book of Ecclesiastes:

I, the teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens.
What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
[Ecc 1:12-14]

I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.”

But that also proved to be meaningless. [Ecc 2]

The king said, "A person can do nothing better than to find satisfaction in their own toil."

Yet he also said, "When I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind"

I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil. This is the gift of God, for without Him, who can eat or find enjoyment?

And I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him."

The wise king concluded: Now all has been heard, here is the conclusion of the matter: 
[Ecc 12]

"Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind."

"For God will bring every deed into judgment,

including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil."

[also in Ecc 3:17] “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.”

Most importantly, Jesus said,"What good is it if anyone gains the whole world yet loses his soul to eternal death?"

So, dear Lord, let Your Spirit keep reminding me on what really matters in this life, what lasts forever, & help me to focus more on them as it pleases You. Amen.
