All the Riches Have Vanished

Scripture: Revelations 18: :14 “They will say, `The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’

Observation: I still spend too much time trying to attain the riches of this world. I keep looking at cars, which I don’t need. I make my house a prize possession, yet when the Lord calls me home all of it is lost. Why can’t I let it go and use the money God has given me to build my treasures in heaven? Why spend so much on something I will lose?

Application: I need to think before I spend, do I need this, what else could I do with this money that would glorify God? I’m only here for a short while longer, I need to get busy to finish what God has called me to do.

Prayer: My Lord all that I have comes from you and belongs to you. Show me how to use it to glorify and honor You.
