=WHERE DO YOU KEEP YOUR TREASURE?=
Matthew 6:19–21 (NIV)
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy
and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not
break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also.
I believe with my whole heart that God wants to prosper you in this life
(Jeremiah 29:11), but that He also wants the life you choose to live now, to
affect your eternity (life after death). You should live in such a way that
when you leave this earth and awaken in Heaven that you have great treasure
there also.
One important key to living a successful life is to live in "the light of
eternity", the knowing that one day we will all leave this life we know and
be in Heaven with God forever and what we have stored there is not subject
to the destruction and decay of this life but will remain forever. This must
be the greatest investment opportunity available; the chance to store
treasure in an eternal place where no thief can take or rust destroy.
We produce treasure in Heaven by the way we choose to live here. As we
purpose to live for God and His kingdom, to love what He loves and build
what He desires to build we establish eternal inheritance that cannot be
stolen or destroyed. Many people today are building great things for
themselves in this life but many will one day find that everything they
built did not last, while wise people build well in this life but also
remain conscious of the larger chapter of life called eternity and live in
such a way to have treasure there also.
Mathew 16:26–27 (NIV)
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his
own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son
of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He
will reward each according to his works.
Let's all be inspired again today for more than just the profit we can know
in this life, but let us live for God and live in such a way that when we
arrive in eternity we are not bankrupt or without treasure. Have a great day
and live life conscious of both God and eternity today, not in a way that
makes you fearful but in a way that motivates you to live a great and
effective life here that produces a great harvest there.
God bless,
Andy
