The Rock Of Our Eternal Salvation

 How important that we hold this world's wealth and wisdom, together with position and power very lightly, for what we treasure in our hearts will become that which we worship.
 Our eternal life is a free gift of grace, but we have the opportunity to lay up for ourselves treasure in our heavenly home. We can live a life where our focus is on the good things of this life or we can keep the eyes of our heart focussed on the Lord Jesus Christ and His perfect righteousness.
 The love of earthly treasure is a root of all kinds of evil, which can cause the believer to wander from the good news of the gospel of grace It can cause us to forfeit many of the rich blessings that God desires for each of His children to receive.
 Let us treasure the things of the Lord, and unrelentingly pursue after righteousness and godliness, faith and love, perseverance and gentleness, humility of heart and joy in the Lord, for when our treasure is rooted and grounded in Jesus, then our heart will be anchored to The Rock Of Our Eternal Salvation.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pray that we may know Christ and treasure Him for Who He is, and all He has done for us. May our hearts be rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus our Lord. Help us to fight the good fight of faith and not be tempted by the treasures of this world. Help us to secure a good report and to lay up for ourselves much treasure in our heavenly home, to Your glory. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
