“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20).
The glory of this world is fleeting, and those who pursue it end up empty inside. Everything that human pride builds fades away with time. But those who live for God and for eternity never waste their lives. Winning a soul for the Lord—whether through words, actions, or example—is more valuable than any earthly achievement. A single act of faithfulness to God creates a legacy that never fades.
And it is by obeying the magnificent Law of God, the very commandments that Jesus and His disciples faithfully followed, that we learn to live for what truly matters. The splendid instructions of the Father draw us out of selfishness and make us instruments to reach lives with the power of truth. Obeying the Law is investing in eternity, for every act of obedience produces fruit that remains forever.
The Father blesses and sends the obedient to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Live today in such a way that heaven rejoices over your choices—and your name is remembered among those who shone for their faithfulness to the Lord. Adapted from D. L. Moody. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.
Pray with me: Beloved Lord, teach me to despise the fleeting glory of this world and to seek what has eternal value. May my life reflect Your purpose in all that I do.
Make me Your instrument, able to touch lives and lead hearts to You. May every word and action of mine sow Your truth and Your light.
Oh, dear Father, I thank You for teaching me the value of eternity. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is a flame that guides me along the paths of life. Your commandments are heavenly treasures that never fade away. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
