"Treasures"

A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes

“Treasures”

Matthew 6:19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

Are you laying up for yourself treasures in heaven? Are you heavenly minded or worldly minded? Our hope is in Christ Jesus, the Son of the Living God—not in this world. Jesus knows we need food, clothing and a place to live. All of these things pass away, except what you do for the Lord. Everything we do for Jesus stands. How we treat others, how we give our money, what we do with the talents He has given us. We must not hide our talents. We must use our talents for Christ. Ask the Lord to show you what He would have you to do for Him. Ask Him to show you your talents----He will. The Bible says for us to seek FIRST the things of God and ALL of the other stuff will be added to you. Stand on the promises of the Living Word. All of the promises in the Bible are yours. They are not just for someone else. Claim all of His promises for yourself and put up all of your treasures with the Lord. No one can take these promises and treasures away from you. No one can destroy or steal the promises Jesus has for you. Don’t you love it!!

Dear Jesus, Thank You for all of Your promises. I know they are ALL for me. Reveal to me Your will and Your work that You have for me to do. I am willing to obey. I want to store up my treasures in heaven and I know You will take care of the rest. In Your precious name I ask these things. Amen
