Advance Preparation
“Lay not up 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,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
(Matthew 6:19-21)
Today’s Morsel: One of the
things that my wife and I learned at an early stage of our traveling overseas
was that we needed to let our financial institution know that we would be out
of the country so that when we needed to use our credit cards the charges would
be approved. And it also allowed them to monitor any excess charges for
fraud. Advance preparation. Jesus said, "Lay not up 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,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also." No, we cannot take our money to heaven with us, but we can
send it on ahead by giving into His kingdom. How much advance preparation
have you made for where you are going. It is never too late to
start. I suggest you begin today.
Sing: This world is not my home, I’m
just a passing through; my treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the
blue. The angels beckon me from heaven's open door and I can’t feel at
home in this world anymore.
Oh Lord, You know, I have no friend like You; if heaven's
not my home. then Lord what will I do. The angels beckon me from heaven's
open door, and I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.
