To Whom Shall I Go?

Today's first reading from James speaks of those who store up treasure for the last days, while withholding just wages from workers and turning a deaf ear to the poor. 

I could not help but think of the treasures I run after in my life.  Sometimes they are prestige, success, efficiency, and other values that I can keep under my control.  When I do that, I just don't get it.  I forget too easily that though these attributes can be used for good, they are not the be-all or the end-all of my life. 
Still, when I catch myself letting an unfinished project throw my day out of sync or I lose my "cool" when I may be ignored while another is praised, these incidents can become blessings in disguise.  How?   Well, they can reveal to me my own inner poverty, the inner need I have to divest myself of the attitudes and "treasures" that take me away from my only TREASURE, Christ Jesus.

Resurrection Spirituality asks me to get up again and again, when I lose my focus and chase after the kind of treasures that are not lasting.  James 5:1-6 bring this to consciousness for me today.
