Your trust
Jesus said,
"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 16:19-21.
Christmas has just past a time when we give our loved ones gifts as a way of showing our love for them.
That being said earthly gifts fade quickly. Think of all the millionaires, or billionaires that have passed away. Their money. Their earthly possessions remain here, distributed among family and others. While they stand before God with nothing.
Nothing that is unless they have chosen to follow Jesus. Putting their trust wholly in Him.
In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus tells the story of the rich man and Lazarus. That the rich man had everything this world had to offer. While Lazarus had nothing. He tells how that when they passed from this world the rich man found himself in torment while Lazarus was in heaven.
All the rich mans wealth and possessions meant nothing to him at that time all he wanted was relief from his suffering.
The story is a reminder to us that we truly need to put our trust in God and serve him alone.
Thus my question to you is; Is your faith truly in God?
Please think about it.
