Daily Manna from Heaven

“Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away like an eagle toward heaven.” -Proverbs 23:5

The worldwide economic meltdown that began in 2008 resulted in the greatest evaporation of wealth in history. By February 2009, tens of trillions of dollars in value had disappeared from markets around the world.

A month later, a prominent Wall Street money manager pled guilty to stealing upwards of $50 billion from investors.

It seems almost inconceivable that trillions of dollars can vanish without a trace–but they can. There is nothing wrong with saving and investing for the future, but money can never be the ultimate source of our security.

Our security must be in something eternal, not something temporal. Money is temporary; God is forever: “The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27a).

Money is a foundation that can be washed away, but nothing can remove the “everlasting arms” of God from underneath our lives. He is an immovable foundation.

Save money? Yes. Trust in money? No. Put your faith in the only object worthy of your trust: God Himself.

“The real measure of our wealth is how much we’d be worth if we lost all our money.” -John Henry Jowett

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. -Romans 8:16

When Princes William and Harry of Wales were born to England’s Prince Charles and his then wife, Lady Diana, the cheeky British press lovingly referred to them as “the heir and a spare”—William being “the heir” and Harry being “the spare.”

In other words, Prince William, being the firstborn son of Prince Charles, stands directly in the line of succession to the British crown. And should he be unable to become king, Prince Harry would step in. When one is born to royalty, one’s identity and destiny are fixed simply by being born.

The same is true of Christians. The moment we are born again by God’s Spirit, we become children of God and “heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). Our future and our destiny is set—we know who we are and where we are going. Our purpose in life is to be transformed into the image of Jesus Christ (Romans 8:29), and our destiny is to live for eternity in the presence of Jesus Christ our Lord (Revelation 21:3-4). Everything else in life is a subtext to that story.

If you are a Christian, you should never be confused about who you are, why you are here, and where you are going. That was settled when you were born again.

God made us to be worshippers. That was the purpose of God in bringing us into the world.-A. W. Tozer
