“SEEING THE VALUE”

There is no monetary value that we can place on the importance of god’s word, fellowship with His church, and intimacy with Christ. Each of those are truly priceless because their value is unmeasurable. Only God knows the true benefits of a life devoted to Christ, His Word, and His church.

Unfortunately, we tend to put too much value on other desires, these desires are not bad in and of themselves, but when the value we see in them supersede the value of our intimacy with Christ, His word, and His church, we truly need to reprioritize.

Spend time with your family, go to the ballgames, children’s school events, and take needed time to travel with family and friends; my wife and I enjoy all those things. However, we cannot allow those things, which are good things, to crowd our lives so much that we have no time to serve the King of kings! We must see the value in service to the Lord and His Church! Fact is our service to Jesus is being laid up in store for us in Heaven. All the other things mentioned are never mentioned to be stored up in heaven. This shows us the greater value. We must see the eternal weight and value of taking time and giving effort to serve the Lord and His kingdom!

Matthew 6:20, 21—”²⁰ But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: ²¹ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
