In 1987, the world famous rock band, U2, released “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” The song continues to resonate with people in part because being a human is searching. We strive for goals, and when we reach them we find they aren’t enough. We look for love, and when we find it, we realize it doesn’t solve all of our problems. The problem is that our endless seeking can easily turn into greed, self-centeredness, and anxiety.
In Matthew 6:19-34, Jesus address how our searching leads us to accumulating stuff we don’t need, not seeing the world clearly, and even being consumed by worry. He says the answer isn’t to stop seeking, but to change the object of our search.
