There is an expression "time is money." But it's not true. Time is not money. Time is time. Often we give money to purchase time, or good times. And the more we give the more good time we expect. If we spend a few dollars in the cinema, we get two hours of entertainment. If we spend $20 or $30 in a restaurant, we get a night out. All of the things we spend money on, ultimately end - and then there's nothing. Messiah said, "Don't store you treasures on earth, where moth and rust devour, and thieves break in and steal." He told us to store up our treasures in Heaven because that's the only place where treasures last forever. When you invest your money on earth, you get a limited amount of time, but when you invest in the Kingdom of Heaven, you get blessings forever, you get eternal dividends
Be wise with your investments. You only have a limited time on earth. Use it to store up eternal blessings. Invest your time, and money in the kingdom of God, for the Great Commission, for the Love of God, and you will inherit everlasting riches and all the time in the world...and then some.
TODAY'S MISSION
Today, instead of spending money on something you don't need, donate that amount to a ministry or a church. Use it to donate a Bible to a shelter. Ask the Lord to bless your donation and use it for His Great Commission
If you want to make sure you're making a wise investment when you donate, I know of an organization that's as worthwhile as any CLICK HERE to link!
