Grace for your spirit October 21, 2008

Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, Cease from your consideration of it. When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings like an eagle that flies toward the heavens. Proverbs 23:4-5

When Jesus directed us to "lay up our treasures in heaven" watching our money fly away is not what He had in mind. Jesus wanted to focus on eternal things and have interest in spiritual wealth that would never fly away. Too many of us have trouble focusing on eternal things because our eyes are directed to worldly wealth. Lately, many have been watching that wealth fly away, and it is ruining many lives. Everything we have will eventually fly away, and the only thing left will be what we can take to heaven. Treasure those things.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
