They will endure forever

Work, work, work. It seems there is plenty of work and not enough time to get it all done. I have shared before that money does not motivate me. Well, maybe a little, but it is not the driving force. There are A LOT of things that I would NEVER do for money. NEVER.

Folks have sacrificed the greatest things in this world in the search for MORE. They will give up their family, their friends, their health to make another dollar. There are folks out there that will take extreme risks just to have one more dollar. There are those who think more about money than about their eternity. We have to be careful with what we allow to motivate us.

Today's word is John 6:27a, ESV, which reads, "Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life..."

It often seems that we are more concerned with how large our bank account is than with trying to learn more about our LORD and SAVIOR. I know, I am guilty of it too. We will sit and pour over finances and and financial statements but only pick up our Bible on Sunday. We will work extra hours and extra jobs just to strengthen our bank account while everything around us is falling apart. There is nothing wrong with working, we all have to. But, when our motivation is just to make MORE, it may be time to evaluate things.

When GOD calls us out of this world, we will leave it ALL behind. If you're a bazillionaire or someone barely making it from paycheck to paycheck, which is most of us, you will leave this world and everything in it without taking a single earthly thing with you. If we want to be truly fulfilled, truly wealthy, we have to store up our riches in Heaven, where they will endure forever.

Be Blessed,
