Make The Good Investment

All over the country, people are suffering the consequences of desiring rewards without investment. Many bought houses and cars they couldn't afford; and because finance companies were willing to fund those bad loans, ignored good judgment and only saw the rewards they could have with little to no sacrifice. Those rewards they thought they could have so easily are in jeopardy or gone completely; and the reality that we can't have something for nothing is here to stay.

In the same way, we must invest our time, our thoughts, and our prayers into time with God if we desire the indescribable blessings He has to offer us. We so often live on the fringe of an amazing life with God, never quite reaching our full potential because we fail to invest in knowing God's will and His way.

The Bible says, "Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates" (Proverbs 8:34). Are we listening and watching daily? Are we investing now for a future of promised blessing?

To place ourselves in range of God's choicest gifts, we have to walk with God, work with God, lean on God, cling to God, come to have the sense and feel of God, refer all things to God.
