What Owns You?

Written by stacy

“But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;”
(Matthew 6:21)

Christian education teacher Dr. Howard Hendricks once said,

“If there’s anything you own which you cannot give away, you don’t own it. It owns you!???

Trudy was recently promoted in her career.? She now had a six-figure income and was very proud of it.

What started out as two statues of Fontanini Porcelain grew into Trudy’s large collection of fine art pieces.? But when her good friend came over to visit, she asked Trudy what she would do if God asked her to give it away.? Trudy was sad.? She didn’t think she could give up her collection.

Friend, there is nothing wrong with being rich.? The danger lies in putting more value in things than in the God who gave them to you.

Put your trust in the Lord!
