Matthew 6: 19-21 ” Do not store 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 moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Ask yourself what you hold dear today.  What is it that’s precious and cherished in your life?  Is it sitting in the garage, or on your wrist, or proudly placed in your house for all to see?  Or are they intangible, incorruptible things that only come from a heart where the Holy Spirit abides?   Jesus tells us that if our priority is gathering up wealth and riches down here on earth…our heart will soon become a haunt of unclean lusts.  But if the things we value are Godly and right, we will have treasures in heaven that will never be exhausted. (Luke 12:34)

Psalm 25:4-5 “Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths; guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long.”

Make Yourself known to me, Lord.  Instruct me in Your ways… for only You are the source of all truth.  As it says in Job 34:32, ” Teach me what I can not see.”  For my hope and my life is in You.        Amen.

Proverbs 10:9 ” The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.”

If you tell the truth in the first place, you’ll never have to remember what story you told which person.  When you tell the truth from the beginning, your story will never change, despite how much time has passed.  Being truthful, even if it’s uncomfortable, shows integrity…and besides, no matter how well we think it’s hidden, the real truth usually comes out in time.

Colossians 2: 6-7 ” So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”

There comes a time in all Believer’s lives when one has to take a stand.  Our journey with Christ Jesus has taught us much… inspiring, edifying, rooting and establishing us in His truth.  So now we stand at a crossroads in our life.  Do we compromise everything we’ve learned, or stand firm in our faith?  Do we give in to the crowd, or be that “weird Jesus lover”?  The decision is hard but yet an easy one to make if you’ve already been firmly rooted and established in Christ.
