Sometimes you just gotta shut up and let Jesus speak.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
--Matthew 6:19-21
I think that all this text is saying is that when we invest the treasures of our lives in Jesus and each other something pretty strange and remarkable happens. Lost hearts get found again. They get found in the presence of the kingdom, investing in stocks and bonds whose values are assured for eternity.
Here's my challenge to all of you...not just on Day 31, but every day. Because our treasure and where we invest it is a measure (perhaps the most profound measure) of our faith. Invest it in Jesus. Invest it in his body...in the church and the relationships here. Try tithing, and see if your faith doesn't grow and blossom in wonderful and powerful ways.
Praying today that you all will find your hearts investing in the kingdom of God and not the kingdom of self...
