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~
