Jesus VS. the world

Why do we spend so much time watching Jersey Shore and Teen Mom? Why do we spend all of our money on the latest Ipad or this seasons newest Coach bag? The world has us brainwashed. All these commercials and radio ads are telling us to "sit down and watch this" or "go spend $400 bucks on this because its super cool!" The world fills our mind with so much junk.

What if we put down the television remote or put our cash back in our wallets and picked up a Bible? What would you find then? Food for your soul?

"Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink -- even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk -- it's all free! Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food. Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I have promised to David."        -Isaiah 55:1-3

In this scripture, God is telling us "Hey why are you wasting time and money on stuff that doesn't matter and things that will eventually fade away? I can give you what is truly important. Something that rust can not destroy. I can give you eternal life, unfailing love, second and third chances, grace and mercy when you mess up and soooo much more! And it is free!"

Jesus wants to quench our thirst and fill the hole in our hearts. He wants us to long for Him and need Him to guide our footsteps. Jesus is SO much better than my big t.v. or my Iphone. It is not bad to have material things or to watch television, just please watch what your are feeding your mind. 

Ultimately we have to make a decision. It is not an easy decision to make, but it is life changing. Will you choose Jesus, life, and unfailing love? Or are you going to stick with the world that is going to fade away?
