“If you set your sights on heaven, the earthly will also be given to you; if you set your sights only on earth, you will receive neither.”

CS Lewis · Back to Basics

Scripture

Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Reflection

Jesus commanded us to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. C.S. Lewis reminds us that if we set our sights on heaven, earthly blessings will follow. Our hearts are often drawn to the present, forgetting that eternity is the true reality. If we pursue only earthly benefits, we will lose everything. But when we focus on the eternal hope in Christ, we can live a more abundant life and see the proper place for earthly blessings.
