Before takeoff on an airplane, there's usually a demonstration about some things, which include what to do in the event that there is a problem and you have to leave the aircraft.
One of the things that you will be told is if you need to evacuate, please don't take anything with you.
Isn't that interesting? All the things we treasure somehow, we are told to leave them behind. Why then do we trouble ourselves so with acquiring things? See, you can't take them with you when you die. And in the case of an emergency, you are being told to leave them behind.
We are told in the Word of God that we shouldn't set our minds on the things that are on the earth, but rather on the things that are above. We are also told that while everything else will pass away, only the Word of God will remain.
Please don't take anything with you. Perhaps you can think about this statement as you reflect on the fact that the things you have do not compare to the life you have. Things can and do improve your quality of life but they are not your life.
