Colossians 2:2-3 (NLT)
I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I
want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious
plan, which is Christ himself. In him
lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
I watched two shows I like a lot last night, Antiques
Roadshow and American Pickers. Joe and I have always loved old things and the
hunt for something of value. I think
this is a good hobby and it has been profitable for people on both these
shows. On the other hand I know where
true treasure lies. Scripture tells us not to store up treasure on earth where
moths and rust destroy but instead to store up our treasures in heaven. According to this scripture Christ is the
source of valuable treasure for us. It’s fine to like beautiful things, but
let’s also keep all that in perspective.
Let’s not become so distracted by worldly concerns that we don’t have
time for heavenly ones. It’s the
difference between what is temporary and what is eternal.
Loving
God, we love beautiful things and thank you for giving us the ability to
recognize the value of earthly treasure. Yet help us to remember that it is
with you that our true treasure lies. Help us to balance all that we do. In Christ’s name, amen.Have a great day!
