1 Kings 13:33-14:31; Jeremiah 24-25; Colossians 2:8-3:4
[Jesus] said unto him…sell all that thou hast…and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful, for he was very rich. Luke 18:22-23
This man lost out all the way around. He was unwilling to give up his treasures on earth to have treasures in Heaven. And yet he still was very sorrowful, even as he returned to his riches. As we follow our Lord, do we forget to lay up treasures in Heaven? They will be the only ones that last. Where your treasure is there will your heart be also (Matt. 6:20-21). —Ken Gross
So now Thy blessed Name I love, Thy will would e’er be mine.
Had I a thousand hearts to give, my Lord, they all were Thine! —Charles Wesley
