Temporary vs Eternal

I am always in a battle with myself when it comes to "things" or "stuff". I struggle with the need to have the newest, the best, the coolest or simply more of whatever. Reading today in Psalm 49, I am reminded that I can't take all this stuff with me (v17), because it will simply be left to others (v10) or will just waste away and rot...it's temporary. However, there is something to go after and that is the eternal stuff...it is "seeing the light of life" (v19)...it is understanding that my relationship with God is eternal. It is striving after God...to know Him...to know that when I die, I will be in His presence forever (v15). That's what I want to be going after today!
