Matthew 6:2 (NASB) "So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full."
1 Samuel 16:7 (NASB) "...for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
When we go through life seeking after the riches of this world rather than the kingdom of God, we will always feel empty. We must instead focus on God and what He has in store for us. He will fill us with completeness when we seek after His riches and glory. Trying to fill the empty void inside of our hearts with money, objects, or people will never work. We will always be empty.
Matthew 6:32-33 (NASB) "For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
As we seek out the kingdom and what God has for us to do while we are on this planet, He will provide for us. Things of this world will always eventually disappear and turn to dust. Things of the kingdom of heaven, however, will always last forever.
