The Daily Blueprint for 11-26-07
James: book of Godly wisdom - part 8
JAMES 1:11
For the sun is no sooner risen with burning heat, but it withers the grass, and the flower thereof falls, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes: so also shall the
rich man fade away in his ways.
Today James continues on his theme of the rich man - the point to me is that this world and the things in it are passing away - even if you have great wealth -the adage is you cannot take it with you - put another way - you don't see any hoarses with luggage racks - we can aquire much wealth here on earth were rust and thief can break in and steal -but in any case we are going to leave it here -sure our ancestors will get it but its only for a short time - if your whole life is driven by wealth in this life -what will you leave for the next? We should be storing up treasure in heaven, another words - we need to invest in those things that have eternal value - like the lives of our children - our church - in whatever God is calling us to do that will last forever- Ive been called to sponcer a child through Compassion International - I say this not to brag but to show you what it means to give to something that will last for ever- sure I could have cable TV or a brand new car - but I feel its what God has called me to do - not that there is anything wrong with a new car or money - do whatever God is calling you to do - a simple smile - a cup of cold water or spare change for someone in need -the point is to do something not out of obligation or to ease your guilt - but out of worship - after all -all we have in the here and now will pass away -and this is not our home - let's make sure we are rich in things of the Spirit and not in things of this passing away soon to be gone world!
a side note: we can have all we need and want here and forget to store up anything in heaven! Lets be sure to give away what God calls us to give away! In this HE will be praised and honored with our lives!
in CHRIST worldly riches pale in comparison to HIM!
