What are you striving for?
Please answer these few questions below honestly, and decide
for yourself what you are striving for.
1) Are your awards-your certificates of accomplishment,
diplomas, ribbons, medals, trophies, wall/newspaper pictures and your talk of
accomplishments - treasures on earth or treasures in Heaven?
2) How is most of your time spent - trying to secure your
own and/or others success, comfort, pleasure and entertainment on this earth,
or helping those you love secure their place in the Kingdom of Yahuah?
3) On what do you spend most of your money - on yourself
/family and the worldly success, comfort, security, and pleasure of your family
and others, or, either directly or indirectly, on the Word of Yahuah - getting
your loved ones saved from this evil world?
4) What do you talk about most of the time - worldly
entertainment, worldly things, or, either directly or indirectly, the Elohim
and His great and wonderful plan of salvation?
5) When someone compliments you, do you say, "Thank
you," and keep the praise to yourself, or do you give the credit and glory
to Yahuah in prayer and openly?
6) What do you think about most of the time - world
entertainment, worldly success, things, pleasure, and relationships, or Elohim
and His great and wonderful plan of salvation and how to get your loved ones
saved?
Your honest answers to these questions should give you a
pretty good idea of whether or not you are storing up treasures on earth, which
is covetousness, or in Yahuah's kingdom.
I have to admit that I have wasted most of my life and still
in some ways working foolishly and futilely for worldly success and
possessions.
But I thank Abba Father for opening up my eyes and slowly
changing my focus to His will.
I pray that you will do the same!
