As humans, we live in a world where we place great value on money, food, and material possessions like gold and diamonds. However, what we often forget is that all of these things are found under our feet, deep beneath the earth’s surface. The essential things that sustain us in life are readily available, and we do not need to go to great lengths to obtain them.

For those who believe in God, it is known that God resides above the sky and above all things. It is God who provides us with food and shelter, and so we should worship God instead of obsessing over material possessions. This is because God has placed our sustenance under our feet, as a reminder that we should obey and follow Him, not worship the things of this world.

The land on Earth is an incredibly valuable resource, and humans have fought wars and made great sacrifices to claim it. But ultimately, the land is also under our feet, and we should remember this fact when we become too obsessed with owning more and more land. Even though land is valuable, it is still in a position that is beneath us, under our feet. This is a humbling reminder that we are not above the land, but rather, we are a part of it.

When we die, we are buried under the ground, returning to the same place where our essential resources for life are located. This is a humbling reminder that we are not invincible, and that our time on Earth is limited. It is important to appreciate the time that we have and to make the most of it.

As humans, we are the greatest creation of God, and God wanted to keep material things under our feet. This is a testament to the power and importance of the human spirit, which is capable of transcending the physical realm and rising above material possessions. When we look up at the sky and raise our hands towards God, we are acknowledging that we are part of something greater than ourselves, and that the material world is not the most important thing in our lives.

Ultimately, material things are the lowest things that humans can receive, and God is the highest. While we may strive to accumulate wealth, possessions, and land, we should always remember that these things are beneath us, and that the most valuable things in life are the intangible things like love, family, and community. These are the things that truly sustain us, and they are the things that we should hold most dear in our hearts.

In conclusion, we should all take a moment to reflect on the things that are most important in our lives. We should remember that the essentials of life are readily available to us, and that we should not obsess over material possessions. Instead, we should strive to live our lives in a way that is respectful of the gifts that God has given us, and that is focused on the intangible things that truly make life worth living. By doing so, we can all find greater meaning and purpose in our lives, and we can make the world a better place for ourselves and for future generations to come.
