But the Lord is the true God;
He is the living God, the eternal King. – Jeremiah 10:10 (NIV)
So often, we search out success and fame. I remember in school, all I wanted was to be the student with the most friends. I tried to get others to like me, with little success. It's interesting that all the emphasis our culture puts on things like success in sports, fame, or money.
In reality, these things are really empty. These things can't speak to us like God can. They didn't create us like God did. And yet we live our lives to please these things. We search out relationships with people who don't fulfill. We search out success in things that don't matter. We build our lives upon things that are often meaningless.
Our God, the God who created us, is the true God, like today's verse says. He is living, He is eternal. These are the things that are truly important in life. It's not about success, it's about knowing God.
So today, challenge yourself to know Him and pursue the eternal.
