A Word From Mrs. Juanita - "Sharpenng Our Priorities"

Good Monday Everyone,
 
Luke 12: 15-21 Says, " And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.16: And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18: And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19: And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20: But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21: So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Life is more than our property in dollars and cents, the clothes we wear, the homes we live in, or the cars we drive, our 401's and 403's, savings bonds, or our Ira's. We are to focus on Spiritual Blessings, which are eternal. 2Cor. 4:18 says, While we Look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen..... God wants us to enjoy a full, In abundant, complete, and balanced life.
 
He has made provisions through His Word. He promised to fulfill the desires of our heart and He is Author and Finisher of every desire. In our scripture, this fool looked upon these possessions as his own, not as a gift dependent upon the will of God, and was to be used unselfishly. He was rich towards himself and not towards God which was only self defeating... Selah.
 
All things comes from God and all things He has given us. Let us lay up treasure in heaven and not on Earth. Let us remember that the use of our financial resources has eternal results, and finally, let us free our hearts of earthly possessions, and fill our hear with Kingdom business. Let us seek the Kingdom for "Any" and "All" of our financial as well as our material possessions. Amen?
God Bless.
Father, may our life be one of Abundance because we recognize that You have not changed, and You will still require us to do things the Right Way. Father, help us to handle our money carefully, and use it wisely, lest we be seduced from our devotion to You. In Jesus Name. Amen
"Seeking Blessings That Last Forever!"
~In Him~
