๐ An old adage says, โThe best things in life are free.โ Thereโs a lot of truth in that. Some people, however, believe that the best things in life are expensive or perhaps elusive. Recently I saw a sign that made me smile and think. It said, โThe best things in life are not things.โ What a great way to say it ! The value of family, friends, and faith points us to the realization that what matters most in life is all wrapped up in people and the Lord.
๐โโ๏ธ King Solomon was well qualified to speak about material things because he โsurpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdomโ. His advice ? โ โDo not overwork to be rich; because of your own understanding, cease ! Will you set your eyes on that which is not ?” Few things are less secure than money. We work hard to earn it, yet there are many ways to lose it. Even if we manage to keep our money, the time we have to spend it continually flies. Blink, and your life is going, going, gone.
๐โโ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ What to do? God tells us : โalways be zealous for the fear of the Lord. There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.โ The best things in life are the eternal riches that come from Godโs goodness and grace. We do not hold them in our hands, but in our hearts. Invest your life in Him; He alone will keep you forever. โ Compiled
The treasures of earth are not mine,
I hold not its silver and gold;
But a treasure far greater is mine;
I have riches of value untold. – Hartzler
Our greatest riches are the riches we have in the Heavenly Father.
