Life on this earth is a journey, and throughout this journey, we need to make choices. Sometimes the choices we make are spiritual, sometimes worldly. But whatever choice we make, we need to be prepared for the outcome, which could be good or bad. Some people choose to focus on only worldly matters, and limit or even totally ignore spiritual matters. Others choose to focus on spiritual matters, while not forgetting worldly matters, since we still need to live and survive. What about you? Are you only interested in worldly matters? Or have you made effort to grow spiritually and grow closer to God?
In today's reading, St. Paul reminds us that "An unspiritual person is
one who does not accept anything of the Spirit of God: he sees it all as
nonsense; it is beyond his understanding because it can only be
understood by means of the Spirit. A spiritual man, on the other hand,
is able to judge the value of everything, and his own value is not to be
judged by other men." At the end of the day, everything of this world is only temporary. Everything that the world has to offer won't last, and we too won't live forever. It is up to us to decide whether we want to risk our eternal future or make necessary effort and preparations while we still have opportunities to do so.
