So many people are still unhappy despite having their basic needs such as home, clothing and food. The reason for this is because they desire for much more than what they need.
In 1 John 2:16, the Bible mentions the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (the vain-glory of life that is the empty pride, boast, and display of material things). God's word reminds us not to focus on these things; for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Why should we care so much for temporary things for the sake of our pride?
God created man for a higher purpose and we belong to Him. It is according to His will that we should love Him, always rejoice, be saved and come to the full knowledge of the truth.
2 Corinthians 4:18
So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen; for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1 Peter 4:2
As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.
Romans 14:8
If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
