Proverbs 11:1-4

Proverbs 11:1-4 

  Scripture is packed with wisdom & guidance telling us that money will not give us the ultimate security that we so desperately want, but we ignore it, because we're convinced that we need it and that we can have everything.  Rather than start with treasure in heaven, though, we tend to start with treasure on earth, because that's easier to grasp and understand.  Only treasure in heaven will save, however, no matter how much treasure on earth we accumulate.  Many are tempted to try and grasp wealth by unrighteous methods, and that corrodes and corrupts the soul.   It can be hard to trust in heavenly wealth -- it doesn't show up in bank statements or sit in our wallet.  It can give us peace that earthly wealth cannot -- peace in the depths of our souls if we learn to trust God with our eternal future.  That is a deposit unlike anything else in the world.
  So how's your spiritual checkbook balance?  Is it growing?  Holding steady?  How can you let God add to that today?
