Ladies and Gentlemen, how are we spending our TIME?
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God-Jehovah and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed — always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the Life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
And since we have the same Spirit of Faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” Psalm 116:10 we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you.
For all things are for your sakes, that His Grace, having spread through the many, may cause Thanksgiving to abound to the Glory of God.
Therefore, we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and Eternal weight of Glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are Eternal.

Dear ones, we have this commission from The LORD that we can and should store up treasures in Heaven. Fill our Spiritual bank accounts with the currency of Good deeds.
We do not have to “work” to bear fruit for His Kingdom Purposes in the earth!
Jesus says that we are to ABIDE in Him! Rest on Him! Trust in His Finished work!
Holy Spirit of the Living LORD, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in Matthew 6:19-21
Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.
Store your treasures in Heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.
Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Amen and Amen!
