2 Kings 14:23-15:31; Jeremiah 50:1-20; Titus 1:1-2:8

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1:3

Do not be afraid when one becomes rich, When the glory of his house is increased; For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. Psalm 49:16-17, NKJV

Let us be careful not to confuse physical blessings, which tend to turn us earthward, and spiritual blessings, which turn our eyes upon eternity. If the Lord has blessed us physically, let us use these blessings in service to the Lord for the benefit of others, and then teach them of the spiritual blessings they have in Christ Jesus, which will last forever! —E. C. B.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always. —Mary E. Byrne
