Your Abundance Will Be Carried Away

Scripture Isaiah 15:7 Therefore the abundance they have gained, And what they have laid up, They will carry away to the Brook of the Willows.

Observation: This passage is about Moab a city that will be destroyed, but it can also be said about us. No matter what we feel we have accomplished, or treasures we might have saved up, when it’s time to leave here nothing will matter. The poorest of all men and the richest will have the same amount when they enter Heaven. The only thing that will be saved are the heavenly rewards we earned while on earth.

Application: Need to invest what I have now in the kingdom to come. To store up treasures in Heaven where rust or moth do not destroy. Instead of buying anything else for me, to take that money and give where God directs me to give. After all it’s all His anyway, I’m just called to be a good steward of what He has entrusted me with.

Prayer: My Lord help and guide me in how you what your possessions to be used. Give me wisdom to invest the gifts and talents you have blessed me with and that I might one day see the rewards of these choices.
