Grace for your spirit April 30, 2010

Grace for your spirit
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 Matt 6:19-20

A Christian counselor asked a troubled couple to bring in their bank and credit card statements. He wanted to see where their treasures were going. It is often true that we can tell much about our lives by the way we use our money. When Jesus invited many to the great supper, some could not come because of their possessions, pursuits, and their personal relationships. God's Word tells us that true happiness is in sharing with others. Do our financial records show a pattern of storing up our treasures for ourselves, or using the blessings God has given us to enrich the lives of others? When our treasures are all on earth, they can easily become our idols, and cause us lots of trouble. Invest in the Lord.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
