EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Where are your treasures? Do you have them hidden away in a drawer? Are they in a closet? Are they parked in your garage?
Is it in your bedroom? Many say that where our treasures are, there is your security.
God tells us we should not have our security in anything here on Earth.
“But seek first his Kingdom in his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:33-34)
God offers us every opportunity to grow to be more like Him each day. Our security should be in the possession of the power of God. God has all authority to give to us with open hands, but His generous giving heaped upon us should not be what we squander away or hold on to forever.
We should use God’s gifts to us as treasures and trust in His mysterious and miraculous ways to give them back out in order to help others. May God have us use the treasure He gives, all for His glory.
“Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)
May this teach us that God’s treasures are worth sharing to help others see Him more dearly, more closely and more clearly.
