Scripture References:
Matt. 6:19-21, Eccles. 12:6-8
Reflection area:
King Solomon’s words in ‘Ecclesiastes’ highlight the fleeting nature of earthly pursuits. In contrast, Jesus teaches us to prioritize eternal treasures.
Key Points:
1. Earthly vs. Eternal: Earthly pursuits are temporary, while eternal investments last (Matt. 6:19-21).
2. Obedience to Christ: Using resources in obedience to Christ’s teachings brings eternal rewards.
3. Eternal Perspective: Prioritizing eternal life changes how we live today.
Application areas:
– Reflect on how you can prioritize eternal investments.
– Ask God to guide you in using resources wisely.
– Seek to live with an eternal perspective.
Let’s Pray:
1. Ask God to help you prioritize eternal life.
2. Pray for wisdom in managing resources.
3. Thank Jesus for revealing God’s plan for eternity that everything is no longer meaningful in Him unlike the way King Solomon viewed.
Actionable Consciousness:
Share with someone today about the importance of prioritizing eternal life and investments.
Benediction:
May God empower you to live with an eternal perspective, prioritizing investments that bring lasting rewards.
