Have you had your JOY JUICE today? No need to store it up and hoard it! There will always be plenty, whenever you need it!
For many Americans, the dream has been to own their own home and amass as much money and possessions as possible. While it’s not wrong to want nice things, it is wrong to allow these desires to consume us. Some people are so busy trying to acquire “riches and possessions”, that they completely neglect their spiritual growth.
Please know that I’m NOT encouraging laziness! An honest day’s work is rewarding when we are doing all for the glory of God. My point here is that we should not be obsessed with making money so that we accumulate more and more stuff.
Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:19-21 teach clearly:
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
So, may I be so bold as to ask: Where is your treasure? Is it here on earth or are your storing it up in heaven? Let’s keep in mind that life on earth is like a “vapor” compared to spending a JOYful eternity with Jesus.
Neither moth, nor rust, nor thieves can take your genuine JOY JUICE from you. There will be storehouses full for you to enjoy throughout eternity!
