Do you want to know how rich you are?
August 9, 2018
BIBLE MEDITATION:
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. 1 John 2:17
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Do you want to know how rich you are? Add up everything you own that money cannot buy, that neither death nor disaster can take away, and then you’ll know just how rich you are. What did you discover? Hopefully, you discovered that it’s time you started laying up true riches. Because all the rest will burn away. If you are putting all of your labor into this world, it’s like rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship.
ACTION POINT:
Read Matthew 6:19-21. Where is your heart? Where is your treasure?

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
