Every time we place our trust in the Lord, we store up spiritual treasure. The Lord promises that he will keep those whose heart all trust safely trust in HIM. And when He keeps, He keeps like no other! Also, when we trust in the Lord we obtain a greater since of peace for our lives!
Such a relief!
Investing our faith and trust in the Lord..."building up our spiritual
treasure." Having a confidence in the Lord allows us to grow and mature in
His Word and reap the rewards in a vital way! Relying on the promises of His
Word transcends over into the elementary essentials of our walk and life. When
we place our faith, our time, our talent, our treasure, our thought life,
completely over to God, the Lord purposefully and rapidly provides a return of
Himself back into us.
Have you ever
witnessed how problems also often snowball into manifestation?!
Matt. 6:24-34 sums
up so well how our walks should be because it encourages us that a life given
over to quick riches and (self-consumption) is full of worry and anxiety.
Whereas a life surrendered to God (quest for eternal spiritual wealth) is full
of peace and provision:
24 “No one can
serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he
will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and
money.
25 “Therefore I
tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will
drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food,
and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither
sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can
add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about
clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil
nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like
one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is
alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O
you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we
eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles
seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them
all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these
things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do
not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
……………The hurricane
of life most certainly will happen, yet when we remain steadfast, the Lord will
faithfully see us through!
In Faith towards
the Faithful one!
