What’s so Precious about Heaven?

Little treasure (I am rich because I have many friends..) by Bernat Casero

Today’s reading is Proverbs 11-15.

“Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble with it” (Proverbs 15:16, ESV).

God is more than enough. If He blesses us with treasures, we use them to His glory. If He does not, we have no need to chase them. That way only leads to trouble. And yet money is perhaps the chief opponent of God (see Matthew 6:24). Remember the old joke that gold is merely pavement in heaven; the truly valuable and precious gem of heaven is God. God is more than enough.

Tomorrow’s reading is Proverbs 16-20.
