Oh the Riches!

Good morning every one! Want to touch on something that we all think about everyday and that is being rich! In today’s culture there is so much emphasis that is placed upon obtaining material possessions. While it is fine to set goals and work hard for the things you want, we must understand that materials do not fill internal voids. Money is a blessing and it can be a curse too. What are your intentions with becoming wealthy? Are you striving for particular material things to prove something to someone else or to bless some one else? At times we can easily get caught up in the glamour and excitement of having so much, but watch out because we can look up and realize that our designer bag is holding more valuables than our heart is. On your list of things that you want to obtain in your life, a relationship with God Must be at the top before anything else. He is a free gift! When you put Him first everything else is secondary. When He blesses you, give Him the glory for what you have and take credit for nothing. Remember that He can take it away too. Just know that Nothing is better than the Lord’s love and an ever-growing relationship with Him. In this life Possessions come and go, but God is the constant anchor that we must place above and all that the world will ever have to offer because His love and existence in our life is priceless and that is where the true riches are! Please read Matthew 6:19-21; 6:33-34, let it speak to your heart and continue to be blessed!

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, your heart will be also.”

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take no though for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
