Friday Thought -- March 2, 2012

Good Morning Friends,

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21)

There are many things worth treasuring in life:  your spouse, your children, your parents, your family, your friends, your church, the opportunities you have to serve God.

There are many things worth treasuring in life:  but money is not one of them!  Money is not worth treasuring, but it is worth using.  The best way to use money is to put it toward things that are worth treasuring.  Use it for people, use it for the church, use it for the kingdom.  Use it, don’t hoard it!

Someone has said that many people can be described by the following phrase:  “love money, use people.”  Jesus offers a better philosophy toward money:  “love people, use money.”

His, by Grace,

Steve
