Treasure in Heaven

Last Sunday Bill and I spent our afternoon whipping out a generic Last Will and Testament. I don’t anticipate either of us succumbing in the near future. However, if both of us come down with a fever at the same time, I’d rather be counting my treasure in heaven and not worrying about earthly assets. Paul said, “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life” (1 Tim 6:17-19 NIV).
