Main Scripture: “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin
destroy, and
where thieves break in and steal. 20 But
store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where
moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Matt
16:19-21 (NIV)
If I should ask you the question, what is your
most valuable possession? Would I get responses like my car, my house, or my jewelry?
Would it be all material things?
The Bible encourages us in Matthew 16:19-21. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on
earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and
where thieves break in and steal”. Instead we should “store
up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not
destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
We often pay great price go to great lengths to
protect the material things we value; we insure our cars, our houses and our
lives. We grill our houses, we put alarm on our cars and we buy safety deposit
boxes.
While the scripture above is by no means suggesting
that we should not save and invest our resources. It is imploring us to spend
time treasuring or protecting the things in this life that will last instead of
cherishing the things that can be stolen. Too often these days, we hear of
young people dying, having heart attacks and all kinds of sicknesses because
they are overworked or stressed.
Ladies store up for yourselves treasures in
heaven and protect these things. Value your salvation, your families,
yourselves and your relationship with God. Protect these things by investing
time and resources in them. Find time for
the Creator, find time for your family, ensure you have optimal health and
spend time with yourselves.
Have A God
Filled Day Ladies
Let’s Pray,
Lord, this morning we want to take time to thank you for our
earthly possessions. However, today we pray that you will help us to treasure
those things that will last, those things that are treasures of heaven more
than these earthly things.
In Jesus Name
Amen
