Are we really mindful of what we chase after in this life? Is it one new thing after another, or one new adventure? How many times can you recall the excitement of that new purchase or adventure and then after a short period the very thing that was to give you satisfaction has lost it’s appeal?

The peace and satisfaction we are seeking can only be found in Him and a life purpose to honor and glorify Him alone.

1 Timothy 6:9

Hebrews 13:5

“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear;
what can man do to me
