Treasures in Heaven

/ theconsecratedwoman / 1 Comment

Verse of the Day:  Matthew 6:19-21  

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 

Faith in Action: Let this new year be focused on eternal things. Start thinking about ways to use your money, time, and talents for God’s purpose and make it a priority in the coming year.

Verse of the Day:  Matthew 6:19-21  

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

There’s nothing wrong with having nice things. The problem is idolizing material things over treasuring what we have in Christ. It’s more important to focus on eternal things which are more valuable than anything here on earth that is only temporary. Start thinking about ways to use your money, gifts and talents for God’s purpose and make it a priority in the coming year.

Heavenly Father, as we begin to prepare for the new year, help us to not be tempted by the things of this world but to keep our focus on eternal things. May we use our time, money, gifts, and talents for Your purpose, honor, and glory. Amen

When You Give, You Get Even More

Proverbs 11 24

Verse of the Day:  Proverbs 11:24

One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.

When it comes to our finances God’s way differs from man’s way. The worldly way of thinking when it comes to money is to make it, spend it on yourself or to hold on to it. God’s way is to tithe, to be generous to God’s work and to give liberally to the poor. Everything we have comes from God and we are merely managers of it. How we spend God’s money makes a difference. You can save all your money here on earth but we all know you can’t take it with you. The more you give for God’s purposes, the more God gives to you and the more God blesses you. True wealth is measured by what’s in your heart not by what’s in your wallet and by the treasures you have stored up in heaven.

Do Good

1 timothy 6 18

 

Verse of the Day:  1 Timothy 6:18

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.

 

In this world money comes and money goes. To be truly rich in life do good deeds and cheerfully share what you have with those in need.  Build your treasure in heaven by doing the work of the Lord.  For example, visit the sick, feed the hungry and help others to know God, these are things that make a difference.
