"TRUE GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT is itself great wealth. After all we brought with us when we came into this world, and we can take nothing with us when we leave it."
No matter how much wealth you accumulate during your lifetime, you will take none of it with you when you leave. What is its real wealth or value? Are you content with what you have, or do you always want more of everything? Is winning the lottery one of your great aspirations? How much time each day is taken up trying to obtain earthly money, wealth or possessions? Are you stuck in the world's economy or are you seeking God's economy? Great wealth according to our One Truth Today is, TRUE GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT! If you want peace on earth with joy and contentment then you have to decide which economy you desire the most, God's or mans. Remember it will profit you nothing if you gain the whole world and all its wealth, but lose your eternal soul.
The wise man builds up his treasures in Heaven. The true and abundant and permanent wealth comes from God. TRUE GODLINESS AND CONTENTMENT come from God and are the true measure of real wealth. You will never be content until you understand that everything belongs to God and that you have no permanent possessions. After all you brought nothing with you when you were born into this world and you will take nothing with you when you leave it. Your real profit in this life will come from believing and accepting the Lord into your heart and your becoming a child of God. God spoils His children. When you seek Him and find Him you will have found your real treasure in Heaven. Unlike the wealth of this world which disappears and is gone in time, the Lords treasures are eternal. If the Lord is your Shepard, you will have everything that you need!
At birth you had only your eternal soul and spirit and your earthly body. Your body like all things of this world will pass away. Your spirit and soul will live for eternity. You will spend eternity in one of two locations. You make the choice that determines where you will spend eternity. You believe and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, or you reject or ignore Him. You can accept the free gift of eternal life or you can reject the Lord and be separated from Him for eternity. Nothing physical or tangible will leave this earth and in the end it will all burn. Your soul and spirit are another matter. To be absent from your body is to be present with the Lord if you are a child of God. You can have TRUE GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT, which is in and of itself great wealth, or you can rely on the things of this world. Pray that the Lord will Save you and have mercy on you today, that is great wealth!
