Wednesday, July 13th - Psalm 49

Good Morning!

What a pleasant sound the rain was early this morning!  It was raining really hard and then it stopped.  Hope it cools it off just a bit or at least lowers the humidity a little.  :o)

Lisa's tweet:LMRMinistries:Psalm 49: We get so distracted by money and possessions.  Only God's salvation & wisdom last. V20-Without God, "all" you have is meaningless.

"Riches" - What is your definition?  I think the world we live in today defines that word with money, fame, property, castles, and lots of possessions and much more.  A distraction indeed!  I heard someone once say, "You know, I have never seen a coffin with a U-Haul!"  In verse 17 the psalmist tells it straight: "for he will take nothing with him when he dies..." 

Back to the word "riches".  I think as Christians, we have a different definition of the word than the world.  I define riches as: family, friendships, freedom to worship, provision, salvation and the hope of eternal life - to name a few.  I am rich!!  Definitely not in the world's eyes, but in mine!

As Lisa said, only God's salvation and wisdom last!  Are you rich?  We need to share our wealth with all that we meet!  The time is now!  Share Jesus today!

Love and prayers,
Cheri Lynn
