“We have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay” (1 Peter 1:4 NLT).
Today’s uncertain economy causes many to worry about their future retirement. What we invest in our 401K does not have guaranteed returns. But what we invest in God’s Kingdom is guaranteed by God Himself. More than that, when we trust Jesus for salvation, we ourselves are being protected by God’s power until His return.
Let us therefore keep our focus on heaven where the world’s stock markets and interest rates have no effect. For we are co-inheritors with Christ and our future is secure in Him.
As C.T. Studd said, “Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
PRAYER: Dear Father, we give our worries and cares about tomorrow to You. For You alone know and control the future. We will trust You and look to You for all things today. Thank You for the certainty of our future with You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
