How Are Your Investments?

Each couplet presents two options and demands one choice. There's a default choice if no choice is made. Unless the right choice deliberately made and tenaciously clung to, the wrong choice will naturally be implemented. In that case, as if on automatic pilot, people will spend their lives investing in the wrong treasury, adopting the wrong perspective, and serving the wrong master. Two Treasures What is our treasure? A.W. Tozer suggested we may discover the answer by responding to four basic questions: What do we value most?
What would we hate most to lose?
What do our thoughts turn to most frequently when we are free to think what we will?
What affords us the greatest pleasure?
Based on our answer to these four questions, what's our treasure?
Christ's primary argument against amassing material wealth was not that it was morally wrong, but that it was simply a poor investment. Material things just will not stand the test of time. Even if they escape the moths and rust and thieves, they cannot escape that coming fire of God that will consume the material world. Jesus is not saying it is wrong to invest, He is saying"Don't make a stupid investment, make a smart one."John Wesley echoed these thoughts when he said,"I value all things only by the price they shall gain in eternity."
God does not object to an investment mentality. According to the passage in Matthew 6, God has an investment mentality and Christ agrees wholeheartedly that wealth is worth seeking. However we also need to understand that the wealth worth seeking is one of eternal investment.
Let's pray and work together to help each other make sure we are making the proper investments for the proper reasons.
