Luke 22:20 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?
We are programmed, that the more material things we have; the more power and status we possess, but without reference to God, none of our earthly treasures will matter. What is important is our relationship with the one Supreme Being, the power of love peace and joy. We worry about how we look more than our Souls; we will invest in shoes, bags, jewelry, cars, and hair, things that keep us in debt and stressed for money. (Luke 12:23 life is more than food, and the body more than clothes) But, we will not use what God gives us; to help build up God's people and His kingdom. "If we invested in helping the least of us, then we are lifting up His people and His Kingdom." (Matt. 25:40 Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the least of them, you did for Me.) When our names are called to leave here; all our earthly treasures will be left behind, for someone to enjoy, sale, or lose. Why not invest in an investment that gives back, God and our Souls.
Father, take away our earthly desires; that keeps us in debt and stressed for money. Lord, remove all the destructive desires and emotions of hate, envy, jealousy; and replace them with things of the Spirit. Lord, You said that all we need is the faith of a mustard seed, so Lord, we come to You now with that hope, save us. Father, give us eyes that see the false prophet and our enemies, and ears that hear Your truth; with understanding and conviction, so we are transformed men and women, not religious fanatics. Lord, thank You for forgiveness, and we ask for Your strength and courage to forgive those that wronged us. Lord, we are so grateful for Your grace and mercy; and a new start of another day, in Jesus name, Amen
