Wig’s Word of God Today 6-22-2012
For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be too. Matthew 6:21
Second Kings 11:1-4, 9-18, 20, Psalm 132 & Matthew 6:19-23
Where is your treasure as you live your life each day? Are you worried about losing everything you have to some sort of famine, disease or financial meltdown? Many of us work day-to-day experiencing such an anxiety that we seem to lose focus on what we are seeking and why. We tiredly work year-to-year looking to store up as much financial gain utilizing any type of means to accomplish our goal. We stab people in the back to get ahead or use peoples good to accomplish material gain.
We overextend ourselves to accomplish selfish acts of lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. Yes, you see the Seven Deadly Sins when you live a life of storing your treasures up on earth but Paul reminds us in Galatians 5:19-21 that the list is actually more than seventeen different categories that drives us to experience the worst type of result; you “shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21g
The act of storing up goods on earth is an act of seeking earthly desires of the flesh as noted by Paul in Galatians 5:19-21. “Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.”
If we’d only begin to understand what it means to store up treasures in heaven then we’d live a life that agrees with God’s Word and aligns our will with His Divine Plan for every part of our life here on earth. To live the Will of God we must seek the Kingdom of Heaven and its reward by taking the time to practice, pray and preach trusting God’s Plan for us. We mustn’t be afraid of acting in our thoughts, action and deed to be a person who shares the tools of Christ’s Salvation never judging but lifting all in prayer to the Will of God. Human Nature works to prove something in life but I see Human Nature as aligning with God’s Truth in storing up treasures for God’s Kingdom. Amen.
In prayer we ask: Dear God, we pray today to seek Your Truth first to accomplish bringing Your love to the treasures we seek here on earth for the glory of Heaven and You. We pray for the NJ Emmaus weekend. May the Fire of Christ burn in us all. We pray for the NC Emmaus Team preparation. We pray for our family, friends and people we share God’s Truth with each day. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
How great is the Treasure stored for Heaven’s delight- Matthew 6:19-23
Jesus spoke in Truth of treasures we seek
Here on earth the storing of treasure makes you weak
The decay of life will destroy all from life’s leak
Where thieves break in and steal at life’s peak
Jesus reminds us to store up treasures in Heaven
Where nothing rots more so the Bread of Life He leavened
Nor moth or decay succumbs to His Truth they steal
On earth life’s treasures are overcome by Heaven’s appeal
You will find your heart in the Treasure of Mine
Says the Son of God by the eye of body’s design
With sound vision of Me the body is filled with Light
Vision of sin causes the body to be darkness to fight
How great is the Treasure stored for Heaven’s delight
