I’m Richer Then I Realize

Scripture: Mark 10:21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Observation: I get overwhelmed at times with bills and earthly desires without realizing how rich I am. God has blessed me so much, He has given me a home, met all my needs, I have a wonderful wife, health and so much I don’t deserve. More importantly I have eternal life with my Lord and His word to guide me. My treasures is my testimony, love God has given me, along with the finances I’m blessed with, which should be given away.

Application: Be focused on what I have been given and find a way to give it away. Everything I have belongs to God and I want to be a good steward and take my talents that they may be multiplied to my master. Find opportunities to bless instead of ignoring the possibilities God puts in my path.

Prayer: My Lord I thank you for all you have blessed me with even the trials. May everything be used for your glory and not my comfort, that I will be a good steward and when I come home I may hear the words I long for, “Well done good and faithful servant.”
