REFLECTIONS 🙄

August 5,2022

Set your heart on things above
Matthew 6:19-21
Lay not 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……

The passage above admonishes Christians not to set their hearts on or love treasures of the earth like wealth, land, houses, cars, clothing and accessories etc because they can easily be destroyed or lost. They are good but do not spend all your time acquiring them.

Instead we are to set our heart or love things of eternal value like:
– Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law
– 1 Peter 5:2-4
Feed the flock of God which is among you…..the chief shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a reward…..

When you build your treasure in heaven you shall be greatly rewarded

Dear student, worker and ambassador of Christ, examine yourself and re-organize your priorities. Spend more time on issues of eternal value
God be with you

Suggestions for success
1.Consider how you can plan your life such that you spend more time doing the things of God that will yield treasures of eternal value.

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymn

A charge to keep
I have
A God to glorify
A never dying soul to save
And fit it for the sky
Amen
