Apr 23 – Unhappy People with Everything

For years already, drivers who seek out the latest technology have been able to listen to music, turn up the air conditioner or get direction – with no need for driver inattention by pressing buttons. One car maker now has released a system that recognizes 10,000 different voice commands. What a world! Cars we can talk to, robots to clean our houses, and internet to give us an overload of information. One would think we would now be the happiest people on earth. But are we? Suicide, drunkenness, drug abuse, moral breakdown seem to dominate the news every day. How could it be that with all the materialism, we are still restless and unfulfilled? Could it be that all our toys just don’t satisfy? Jesus gave us His philosophy of life in Matthew’s gospel when He said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
