Those who have no children, take pleasure in little dogs and
cats.
People must have an object of affection, and if they have not
something noble, they will accept something less. Just so, those
who disdain to live for God, will live for their own bellies.
If we do not live in all seriousness for a noble object--the
probability is that we shall trifle our lives away in doing
nothing! Are we prepared for this?
Will
we be numbered with cat-worshipers and dog-adorers?
My God, save me from petty and paltry objects! Deliver me from worthless amusements and hobbies!
May the objects of my life's pursuit be
worthy of an immortal spirit, worthy of an heir of Heaven!
"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!"
Colossians 3:1-2
~Charles Spurgeon~1883
