Don’t pursue the

Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. —Ecclesiastes 2:11 NIV
For who can eat and who can have enjoyment without God? —Ecclesiastes 2:25 NIV
Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle. —Romans 12:9-10 MSG
Shine the

“The only way it happened was my offensive line kept me upright all season long, my receivers caught tough passes, and Coach Reid called great plays. Ultimately, it’s just about me playing for my teammates and for this community.” —Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. —Romans 12:1-2 MSG
