Fix't Hope

Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. 
Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, 
storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.

1 Tim 6:17-19

Note that last part: “storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.”

Here is why that sounds familiar:

“Do not store up 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 neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Matthew 6:19-21

I am very grateful to God Who richly supplies me (and ALL of His children) with all things to enjoy.

Carnation Evaporated Milk famously purports that their product ‘comes from contented cows’.

That’s nice, but can’t compare with the prayers and thanksgivings coming from contented Christians.

Do I struggle? Too often.

Make mistakes? Like a pro.

But the bottom line is that I trust God, and know that my faults will not follow me into Heaven.

Whatever stains and blemishes on my character…they have an expiration date.

And then…I will “take hold of that which is life indeed.”

I would love to see you there.
