Where Your Treasure Is
A friend of mine answered a phone call from someone she thought she knew. The caller ID even said the name of the company. So when the caller explained the reason for the call stating that unless my friend could fill in the missing data her account was in jeopardy of being closed. Instead of hanging up and calling the company directly to verify, she gave her personal information to the caller and instantly she was scammed.
Sadly, scams happen every day. Identity theft. Stock market crash. Deals gone bad. Things happen that can jeopardize our financial security. When we put our trust in a financial plan, a nest egg, a retirement fund ... it all can change in a moment. It IS wise to plan for the future, but it should not be where we put our trust.
Luke 12:33-34 (MSG) tells us, “Be generous. Give to the poor. Get yourselves a bank that can’t go bankrupt, a bank in heaven far from bank robbers, safe from embezzlers, a bank you can bank on. It’s obvious, isn’t it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being."
God's math is even better than girl math! When He tells us to be givers...generous and mindful of those in need... we cannot outgive God. That savings account will never run out or be stolen. God is the Keeper of our accounts and the way we make deposits? Be kind and generous to those in need. Something happens to our heart when we give. It makes us long for heaven even more. For where our treasure is - that's where we long to be.
