Christ- Our Treasure

Others are boasting about their lives in the world. So I will boast too.-2 Corinthians 11:18

If I must boast, I will boast about the things that show I am weak. - 2 Corinthians 11:30

“Don’t save treasures for yourselves here on earth. Moths and rust will destroy them. And thieves can break into your house and steal them. Instead, save your treasures in heaven .Your heart will be where your treasure is.- Mathew 6:19-21

Those who look to God will shine;
    their faces are never ashamed.On every side, the Lord’s messenger protects those who honor God; and he delivers them. 

-Psalm 34: 5,7

Most of our time,Our heart is upon our worldly deposits and we may boast upon what we have gained here.. Our Lord says to us, the worldly treasures are perishable and can be stolen. What about our hearts that we put on it? It will also shatter.

Don't save treasures here on earth, let it be saved in Heaven, so that our hearts are set above. We are raised in Christ and is a new creation. Being so we live in perfect submission to Gods will ,depositing in heaven.

'Therefore, if you were raised with Christ, look for the things that are above where Christ is sitting at God’s right side. Think about the things above and not things on earth. '(Colossians 3:1-2)

While on earth, let us boast about our weaknesses and not on our gains of world. Gains of world shows our satisfaction for this world, but through weaknesses Gods power is manifested. We do what we cannot.

He said to me, " My grace is enough for you, because power is made perfect in weakness. "So I'll gladly spend my time bragging about my weaknesses so that Christ's power can rest on me.

- 2 Corinthians 12:9

Let us turn our focus from the world to Christ and Lord ,from what is below to what is above, from dark to light. Let us turn our eyes to the source of light, so that we shine through Him and let others receive the light through us and shine in the ultimate Light together.

"The eye is the lamp of the body. Therefore, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how terrible that darkness will be! - Mathew 6:22-23

Those who look to God will shine;
    their faces are never ashamed.On every side, the Lord’s messenger protects those who honor God; and he delivers them. (Psalm 34:5,7)

God protects us and delivers those who have kept focus and trust on Him and their deposit is everlasting.Hence what is best, looking on world or looking to God ?

Prayer

Oh lord ,source of our light and perfect satisfaction, help us to set our focus unto you. Help us to realise and accept our weaknesses and use it to glorify You because in our weaknesses we see you acting for us. Let us be able to say in deep faith ,'my Lord is my treasure and life.'

'I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ ' - Colossians 3:8

In the name of the Father Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
