What do you treasure most?

When you breathe your last breath, when your time is over…what will your legacy be?  People are going to  remember you and they will talk about you!  Your children, your spouse, people you knew or met along your life's journey will have a discussion about you!  What will they say, what did you teach them?  

Jesus tell us   

“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.” (Mathew 6:19-21).

What do you treasure most as you live your life on this earth?   Your legacy will either say that you sought treasure that pleased God or treasure that pleased yourself!  

·         Will you be remembered as one that treasured loving God, their Lord, and people or loving themselves and other things more?

·         Will you be remembered as one that treasured being a student of God’s Word where you were led, corrected, taught, and walked soundly in God’s ways or being one that had all the answers, relied on their own wisdom, and was always right? 

·         Will you be remembered as one that treasured trusting God and walking in faith or relying on their own strength? 

·         Will you be remembered as one that treasured serving God and others or letting others serve you? 

·         Will you be remembered as one that treasured thriving daily to be obedient to righteous living as a new creation in Christ or not willing let go of the old life before Christ? 

·         Will you be remembered as one that treasured leading others to Jesus or leading others away from Jesus?

·         Will you be remembered as one that treasured surrendering to God’s will or submitting to your will? 

·         Will you be remembered as one that treasured standing where God stands or where you were comfortable standing?

·         Will you be remembered as one that treasured coming after Jesus, denying yourself,  carrying your cross, and following Jesus or being comfortable here on earth?  

As Christian, you fall on one of the sides from the above questions!  Today is a new day!  God’s mercies are new every day.  We are not promised tomorrow…but we have today!  What do you treasure most as you live your life on this earth?
