Human beings are all like a puff of breath;
great and small alike are worthless.
Put them on the scales, and they weigh nothing;
they are lighter than a mere breath.
MATTHEW 6:20-21 (MSG)
Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it’s safe from moth and rust and burglars. It’s obvious, isn’t it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.
THE ESSENCE
Our hearts follow what we treasure so it behoves us to treasure eternal currency.
DAILY FODDER
What is eternal currency? How does someone get it?
PRAYER
Glorious God, you are the richest being; for all of creation belongs to you—forever. No one can take it from you and its under your eternal care. Forgive us for overvaluing treasure which only has value in a temporal economy. Show me how to become rich in eternal treasure. Since I expect to spend the rest of eternity with you I want to be prepared for the heavenly lifestyle. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
