As our days go by we may very well find ourselves sinking and not even know of it. The world is now fallen and all those who inhabit it are infected with its nature. This sin nature is nothing we can cure. We just have to do what we can to minimize its effect on out daily lives.
As Christians we are called to be " in the world and not of the world." Now what does that mean exactly then? I say this, it has everything to do with your level of contentment you allow yourself to be in. You heard that right contentment is a choice we have to make. Jesus tells us plainly after all that all we need to focus on God all all the rest will be added on to us. What we need is his business. The boss says so.
So do what your management says to do and spend your time on being an ambassador of Christ and find a way to be ok with that. Ya I know easier said than done right? Indeed, indeed indeed I need to be peaching to myself as well. As Americans we just need to come to grips with it. We are fat, lazy and unmotivated. This is only topped neatly with the cherry of never having enough. This however is not the path to Christ at all.
In the interest of brevity I will just point you to how Jesus lived. You know the guy closest to God ever? The had no home, no money and did just fine making it by. Maybe we can try to follow who we should be modeling a bit better now. Let's try it together!
