Investments

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." -I Timothy 6:17 (NIV)

While watching the news one day, the reporter made a comment that the stock market and investors do not like uncertainty.  Uncertainty may spring from market reports or politics within our country or from across the world.  Those that put their faith into building wealth from this system often experience stress due to the uncertainty of their work.  Stable, guaranteed investments may be an exception in the stock market, but we can find a sure thing in God!

Investing in earthly riches or wealth gives us uncertain returns on our investments, but we do know that the investments cannot last for eternity!  When we are looking for riches that will last for eternity, we should put our faith and hope in God.  God can provide for us now and for eternity.  He will provide the joys and blessings that will fill our lives, give us meaning and hope, and sustain us.  Whenever we are looking to invest our time and talents in order to prepare for an eternal future, we need to turn to God!

Invest in God to prepare for an eternal future of glory!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all that You provide in my life.  Help me to always invest in You and to follow Your will for my life.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
