Running here and there like ants on an anthill!
(J.R. Ryle)
Oh, that men and women would learn to live with the awareness that one day they are
going to die!Truly, it is waste of time to set our hearts on a dying world and its short-
lived comforts and pleasures;and for the sake of momentary pleasures--to lose a
glorious eternity in Heaven! Here we are striving, laboring, exhausting ourselves about
little things, and running here and there like ants on an anthill!And yet after a few
years,we will all be gone--and another generation will take our place. Let us live for
eternity!Let us seek His Kingdom and His Righteousness that can never be taken from
us!
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,set your hearts on things above, where
Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly
things!When Christ, who is your life, appears--then you also will appear with Him in
glory!” Colossians 3:1-4
