Where is Your Treasure Held?

Aug25

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!
James 5:1-3 NASB1995

Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,”
Hebrews 13:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/heb.13.5.NASB1995

But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.
1 Timothy 6:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1ti.6.9.NASB1995

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:19-21 NASB1995

🌹Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

God’s Word is Better than…

Feb11

How sweet are Your words (promises) to my taste (palate)! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Psalms 119:103 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.103.NASB1995

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.
Psalms 19:9-11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.19.9-11.NASB1995

Therefore I love Your commandments Above gold, yes, above fine gold.
Psalms 119:127 NASB1995

Word of The Lord

Jul25

The word of the Lord is tried;
Psalms 18:30b

The words of the Lord are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.
Psalms 12:6 NASB

The precepts (commandment or direction given), of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
They (the words of God) are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
Psalms 19:8‭, ‬10 NASB

Are you being refined by God’s word?
Do you love God’s Word?

🌹Your word is very pure, Therefore Your servant loves it.
Psalms 119:140 NASB

Cost of Deliverance

Mar23

Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death.
Proverbs 11:4 NASB

“In the day of wrath”. As I read this verse I thought of the wrath that is being brought down on the Ukraine right now.
Where are the riches? Where is the security and peace of these riches? Are these riches profitting any of those in the midst of wrath?
One day a great wrath is coming on all mankind:

Neither their silver nor their gold Will be able to deliver them On the day of the Lord’s wrath; And all the earth will be devoured In the fire of His jealousy, For He will make a complete end, Indeed a terrifying one, Of all the inhabitants of the earth.
Zephaniah 1:18 NASB

The only thing that will save anyone from death is . . . Righteousness. And since no human has a righteousness of their own we must put on the robe of righteousness, which is Jesus Christ.

But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
1 Corinthians 1:30 NASB

🌹Jesus Christ became to us righteousness. Will you be depending on the riches of this world or on the  righteousness of Jesus Christ?
