1 Kings 21:1-29; Jeremiah 32:26-44; Hebrews 4:1-13
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. Matthew 6:19-20 NKJV
Some teenagers had spent quite a lot of time building castles on the beach while the tide was low. But now it was on its way back in. Soon their castles would be gone forever as the waves washed over them and returned the beach to its usual smooth surface. It made me think of how we so often spend our lives chasing those things that we think will bring satisfaction, and yet, will hold no value when life is over. —Janet Fleming
Are you building today for eternity’s shore?
Your life’s work, is it lasting and true?
Will it stand when the fires have tested its worth?
Will it then seem of value to you?—Janet Fleming
