hmmm doesn't compute.
this biblical story is so far removed from my life experience in todays world.
in other words practically speaking, how to you trust god and not trust the world?
give me an example of how you trust god vs. trusting the ever shifting world?
I'll be more personal than, just for you
Everyday I see my peers, I see them happy and sad, I too am happy and sad, so what is the difference?
When push comes to shove, and life gets hard, a lot of my friends begin to doubt their worth, being to hate themselves, they ask "What am I good for?"
They panic about finding the love of their lives, going to colledge and getting money in the future.
I think all of these things are great, but are indepent of the worth of a human being.
A human being is not valued by skill or merit, a human being is valued because God made them in His Image.
I don't freak out about carnal things, yes I realize I have to get a real job and yes school can be stressful, but in the end my trust and foundation is not in these things, it is in Christ. I don't seek to please man, and don't have a need for a constant flow of attetion from lovers and friends, I seek to please God and that is it's own reward.
