The Word of God truly pierces into us, revealing what's in our hearts, and what we prioritize, just as Jesus does when talking with the rich man. Indeed, He presents great demands for being a disciple. It's not enough to follow the Law, but to have a heart that's willing to give everything for His sake. Yet in doing so, we recognize what is most valuable.
When we turn our focus away from earthly goods, we can embrace the great gifts that come from above, especially the wisdom that outlasts everything and allows us be in right relationship with God. Once we have that secure, everything else falls into place, and we truly have peace no matter what kinds of difficulties we face, and no matter how short life is, because we will have lived it righteously.
