Before Service Meditation: Look to the heavens; number the stars. Count all the Father grants to be ours.
God sees His children from His great throne, For He has chosen us as His own.
Where is our treasure? Where is our heart? Rest in the riches God will impart:
Ours is the kingdom, thanks to the King Who left His glory, goodness to bring.
This sure conviction nothing will shake: We are forgiven for Jesus' sake.
Filled with the Spirit, we now believe: What the Lord promised, we will receive.
Today's Theme:UNDIVIDED ATTENTION -- ON HEAVENLY TREASURE. Last week Jesus warned us against overvaluing earthly wealth. This week Jesus warns against undervaluing heavenly treasure. Last week, Jesus exposed the folly of greed. This week, Jesus exposes the folly of worry, even when faced with the prospect of having a seeming shortage of resources. This week might be the bigger challenge! When it seems we lack providence or protection for our daily lives, it can be hard to avoid worry. So, Jesus asks us to give our undivided attention to Him, that He might take our worries away. Jesus points to creatures that do not labor or toil yet eat every day. Even more, Jesus points to our Father who promises to give us the heavenly treasures of His kingdom. Jesus assures us that our Father will throw in any needed earthly possessions as well. We can rest from our worries, confident that our loving Father knows all we need.
