What If The Good Things That You Did Will Turn Into Treasures In Heaven?
“Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Matthew19:21, NIV Jesus gave this instruction to a rich man who wanted to receive eternal life. He simply taught him to gather treasures not here on earth but in heaven. After this, Jesus invited him to come and follow him. For this rich man, his wealth somehow gave him the temporary security that he wanted. But despite the earthly possessions that he gained, his heart is still longing for something that this world can never give. He is still looking for something…

When It Seems Like You Have Lost Everything
Have you ever felt like everything was taken away from you? A relationship, job, an opportunity, or perhaps someone you love? When we go through those difficult moments, we can’t help but feel like we are not that valuable in God’s eyes. When it seems like we have lost everything, there’s a possibility that we will feel taken for granted. Little did we know that behind the pain are immeasurable blessings that God prepared. His ways are mysterious. Most of the time, He needs to remove certain things for us to receive the best gift. In those painful moments, God is inviting us to receive Jesus. It’s when we will…

Day 461 – Luke 21: 4
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” Luke 21: 4, NIV Jesus saw a rich man and a poor widow offering gifts to the temple treasury. Then as He observed both of them, He said that the poor widow put in more treasures than the others even though she only put in two very small copper coins. And the reason is the rich man gave out of their wealth, but the widow put in all she had to live on. She offered greater sacrifice than the others. You see, God is not looking…

Day 444 – Luke 12:34
For where treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:34, NIV Try to ask yourself about the things that you treasure right now? What are the things that your heart is longing for? Where did you store them? If you think that your earthly treasure is more important than anything else in this world, then it means that your heart is fully consumed with the desire to seek more riches. Your wealth became the center of your life, and you already forget the One who provided you with all the blessings that you need. Always keep in mind that you can only discover real treasures in the arms…

Day 239 – 1 Timothy 6:9
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 1 Timothy 6:9, NIV Let your heart be contented and fulfilled in the arms of God. Don’t use the riches of this world as a way to satisfy the thirst inside. Rich people are surrounded by temptations and harmful desires that will possibly ruin their lives.

Your Life is too Expensive
No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them— the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough— Psalm 49:7-8, NIV Your life is one of the biggest blessings you could even receive. It is so expensive because no amount of money is ever enough for you to have a long time here on earth. God ordains your life, and whether you like it or not, He alone knows what will happen next. Remember that even the rich people can never pay God just to have the long life they wanted. Yes, they can pay for hospital bills, but if…

Run to God, and you will be Safe
The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale. Proverbs 18: 10-11, NIV When you are in trouble, be the righteous person who chooses to run to God and not the temporary riches you have. You may think that your wealth will protect you, but God alone can make you feel safe. He is stronger than anyone else. So come to Him and rely on His power. Instead of putting your hope in your money, set your eyes on God and choose to serve…

Day 92 – Psalm 49:20
People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish. Psalm 49:20, NIV Your wealth is nothing if you don’t have the wisdom to manage it. So if God provided you with enough resources, then pray for a teachable heart that you may have the understanding that you need to properly handle His blessings. He can lead you to the right people that you need to help. Just open your heart so that He can reign inside. Abide in His ways and never rely on your own knowledge and skills. Let God mold you into a better person so that you will be able to maximize everything…

Day 311 – 1 Timothy 6:7
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 1 Timothy 6:7, NIV Never rely your hope on things that will just last for a moment. Remember that no matter how wealthy you are in this world, you can never bring your money and properties with you. When we are born here on earth, we are not carrying anything. That’s why we can take nothing out of this world. Use what you have to gain treasures that will last forever. Nourish your faith and choose to love God with all your heart. Remember that your relationship with Him is what matters most in life…
