I am amazed at what happens at Disneyworld. One doesn't have to walk far before one sees Micky Mouse ears, Cat in the Hat hats, Goofy ears, and all sorts of Disney regalia. And that's what the adults are wearing. Thousands, yea hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent on this ridiculous looking garb. I understand that children what some type of souveneir of their trip. But adults? And here's the thing, how many times will they wear that when they get home? I would venture to say that it goes on the shelf rarely if ever to be worn again; it's destined to become garage sale material.
Why should we laugh at such things? It happens all the time right in front of us. The world holds out a bill of goods and yells, "Buy me! Buy me!" And we obediently submit to the urge. We buy something that is absolutely worthless, yet we spend good money to buy it. "Clothe yourself with the vest of selfishness. Wear the hat of greed. Here, buy the glowing trinket of sin that glows in the dark." Satan has his tricks and we succumb to such silliness. Yet, when it comes time to go home, the items we have bought hook, line, and sinker have absolutely no use anymore.
Let's be careful what we "buy" in this life. The Scripture continually warns us of not being "of the world." Jesus told us that our hearts will be where our treasures lie. Don't allow Satan to sell you the useless refuse of what this life has to offer. I hope your day is good. JW
