Unshakable Faith

Read: Matthew 6:19–24

Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions. Luke 12:15

Kevin walked into the nursing facility after his dad passed away to pick up his belongings. The staff handed him two small boxes. He said he realized that day that it really didn’t take an abundance of possessions to be happy. 

His dad, Larry, had been carefree and always ready with a smile and an encouraging word for others. The reason for his happiness was another “possession” that didn’t fit into a box: an unshakable faith in his Redeemer, Jesus. 

Jesus urges us to “store up . . . treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:20). He didn’t say we couldn’t own a home or buy a car or save for the future or have numerous possessions. But He urged us to examine the focus of our hearts. Where was Larry’s focus? His heart was set on loving God by loving others. He would wander up and down the halls where he lived, greeting and encouraging those he met. If someone was in tears, he was there with a comforting word or listening ear or heartfelt prayer. His mind was focused on living for God’s honor and the good of others. 

We might want to ask ourselves if we could be happy with fewer things that clutter and distract us from the more important matters of loving God and others. “Where [our] treasure is, there [our] heart will be also” (v. 21). What we value is reflected in how we live. — Anne Cetas

Are there ways in which your priorities are out of order? What changes do you think God might want you to make?

I love You, dear God, and want You as my greatest love. Show me how I can become more like You.

Bible in a year: Numbers 31–33; Mark 9:1–29

THANK YOU
for your service!

Well, hi and bye, Early Bird! I guess that trip to Dollar General was more stressful than I thought. LOL! I get stressed just opening their door it’s so messy. Is it a “thing” with them?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening and good night, beachy...thank you for today's Just Hangin' Cafe.

[PROCON]

In late, take care and sleep well!

THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

And to the Republic for which it stands

One nation, under God

Indivisible with liberty and justice for all

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Repeal...they especially need those prayers in these trying times. Thanks.

Stove fired up for what NOAA says might be the last arctic cold for this winter.

Didn’t get the neighbor’s tree sliced as hoped...next week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you are without snow. Sun would be nice for a walk with Penny.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Almost made it through the week...hope it’s warming up.

Good evening, radu...enjoying some warm weather for a bit?

Did you find out when the museum program will air? When do you start the gear up for opening day? Learn the history of new exhibits?

[luvie]

Hope you got to sleep in today and that you had pretty weather to greet you when you got up!
