ENCOURAGING THOUGHTS
WHERE ARE YOU STORING UP YOUR TREASURE?
Sometimes we forget how temporary everything in this world is. When life is going well, it can become tempting to focus our resources on things that will fade away instead of on things that will last for eternity. It can seem like wisdom to us to fill our hearts with the cares of this world, but the truth is that anything built on this world will not last! What we are given here is not meant to be stored away, but instead given away, held in an open hand to God and others- this is how we store up treasure in Heaven. Let's not wait to be reminded of the fickleness of all that we have in this life before choosing to give it to God! He is the only one who can turn it into something that will last forever.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.'" Matthew 6:19-21 NASB
