Verses: Luke 12 : 13 - 21
My thoughts about the verses:
It is amazing how many people think if they have everything on Earth that their needs are truly met. They worry about food, shelter clothing and the need to have these met. They seek out love of someone to fulfill their needs on Earth. Yet, does this actually satisfy them.
In actuality what I want you to consider is that it isn't what you do on Earth that makes you happy but what you store in Heaven. When you do not worry about worldly goods and concentrate on spiritual needs you start to move closer to God. When you realize that it is your spiritual needs that must be met you will soon learn that other needs are also met. You have to put your trust in Heaven and the gift is freely given by God.
The truth is that God can call us home at any moment. We have to understand that if you concentrate on fulfilling your needs on Earth you will miss the most important part of the story. Let us remember that what you store on Earth will be lost in Heaven. It is the things that we do for Heaven that will be there when we get there.
Putting God second is pushing God away from you when you need the spiritual guidance. Yet, if you put God first your spiritual needs will be met. You might still be striving to reach the day to day needs. Yet, when you get to Heaven you will have no fears because you did the right thing on earth.
As I write this I keep thinking of my close friend who passed last night. She would be telling all of us that her riches have been gained. She loved God with all of her heart and will be missed for a long time. Yet, I feel as if she had a way of talking to us right now she would say don't be said I am finally home and whole. Judy would also be praying that we would continue to put God first. If we hadn't accepted God or haven't been putting the beloved Savior first she would be praying for us to find the peace she has found.
This is dedicated to my mentor and friend Judy Dale. May she rest in peace. For all of us that loved her may we find comfort in knowing she is not suffering and that she is with her precious Savior. May we all find comfort in this today
Prayer:
God thank you for loving us. Thank you for freely giving your life so that our spiritual needs are met Help us put others out of the picture so we can concentrate on you. Help us forget to hold back our lives from you. Help us store goods in Heaven and not worry about what we get here on Earth. In the Name of the Most High we pray. Amen
Questions:
What treasures are you trying to store up? Are you more worried about the things that you can get here on Earth? Are you concentrating on storing good deeds in Heaven? Would Jesus call you foolish if he come back today because of the way you have lived your life? Are you living like the foolish rich Man or are you living the life of a wise Christian?
