(National Week of Prayer & Fasting - 19. January)
Focus Scriptures
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." – Matthew 6:19-20
Living with Eternity in Mind
As believers, we are called to live with an eternal perspective, prioritizing heavenly treasures over earthly ones. Earthly possessions are temporary and subject to decay, but the treasures we store in heaven are eternal and indestructible. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:19-20 to align our hearts and actions with His kingdom, investing in what truly matters: faith, love, service, and obedience to God.
Living for eternal rewards means focusing on things of eternal value, such as relationships, generosity, and sharing the Gospel. These actions echo in eternity, leaving a legacy that reflects God’s glory. When we make choices with eternity in mind, we shift from a life of self-centeredness to one of kingdom-centered purpose.
Aligning with God’s Eternal Plan
Prioritizing eternal rewards requires wisdom, discernment, and grace. Colossians 3:2 urges us to set our minds on things above, not on earthly things. It’s not that earthly possessions or blessings are bad, but they should never replace the ultimate goal of knowing Christ and glorifying Him.
Your daily decisions, like how you use your time, resources, and talents, have the potential to bear eternal fruit. By seeking God’s wisdom and walking in obedience, you can ensure that your life points others to Him and leaves an eternal impact.
