Are we able to distinguish, what is precious to us and what is transitory and empty?

Can we say that even if everything around us failed , we would still rejoice in God?

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen

and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

Habakkuk 3:17-18

I Will Rejoice

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. "The eye is the lamp of the body. If

your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light

within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! Mathew 6 21-23

You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me

into glory.

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire

besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my

heart and my portion forever.

Psalms 73: 24-26

The name of the LORD is a strong tower;

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if

anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in

me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4: 5-9

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
