A Worthy Pursuit

02 15 Luke 12 13-34 There are really only two pursuits in life: earthly and eternal.  Jesus is asked to arbitrate in a dispute between two brothers over inheritance.  If they had looked at the Law it would have been very evident what they were to do.  Instead of addressing the issue of inheritance, Jesus proceeded to get at the real heart of the matter and talk about two besetting sins: avarice (greed) and anxiety.  If we pursue after things, it naturally leads to anxiety.  Jesus then reminds us of two important truths.  Seek first the kingdom of God and where our treasure is that is where our heart will also be.  The best pursuit is to seek after the Lord because He knows what we need and will provide if for us.  What are you pursuing today?
