The lustful desire for wealth, possessions, power, and the temporary cares of life, may serve as a stumbling block to one's Salvation from their destruction. Forsaking all this, allows Christ to brings us closer to the Father, keeping us renewed in the Spirit, being justified by faith, even as the Holy Spirit testifies that we are Sons and Daughters of God; free from all defilement and established by grace, as brethren with Christ.
Although, we have forsaken treasures and comforts of this world, we will never lack; for all we've lost for Christ's sake, will surely be replaced with eternal joy, graced with heavenly treasures, even while we live on Earth as descendants of Abraham, through Christ, the promised seed. We will always remain blessed while we become a blessing to others, too. So, don't be worried about that which you've lost for Christ's sake, yet always be cheerful over that which you've gained as your inheritance, by faith in Christ Jesus, being an Heir of God's Kingdom, because God's Salvation is more valuable than any treasure on the surface of the Earth, and His Spirit comes with Power!
PRAYER: LORD, Jesus Christ, thank You for giving me the courage and will to forsake the vanities of this world, to focus only on my Christ's Calling, which comes with Divine rewards of eternal peace and sustenance, even on Earth, living as a vessel of your glorious works, in Jesus' Holy name;
Amen.
From Luke 14:33
