Grace for your spirit December 31, 2010

Grace for your spirit


Your riches have rotten and your garments have become moth-eaten. Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure. James 5:2-3

Jesus warned us that we should lay up our treasures in heaven. Many will do anything to build up riches only to see them rot and fade away. We hide our money in the ground and it rusts. We put our riches clothing, and the moths get to them. We understand that principle, until we get some of those riches in front of us and we tend to forget. As we learn to worship the "green calf", we will cheat, beg, borrow, or steal, to keep on accumulating. This is not the path a Christian should ever be on. If we choose that life, our riches will fade, and our relationship with God and people will fail. That is not the witness we want when we stand before God. Let's quit worshiping the green, and return to the Lord. He will give us all a happy new year.

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