Prov. 13-15 Rom 11

Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil. Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred. Prov. 15:16-17


As we look at the wisdom of the wisest man that ever existed, the richest man that ever lived, he says to us that if you consider all things than you will find having nothing but the fear (respect) of God is better than having great wealth in your life. You are better off with a meal of vegetables or simple food from your garden with love than you are with a great feast of the fatted calf with hatred. Maybe because he had so much, he was always comparing great riches to having little or nothing. I was listening to a man on the radio today saying “if he had only bought Apple sock I would be a rich man today” the truth is knowing what is important to invest into and what will benefit you the most is a tricky thing. I certainly did not buy “Apple” stock or I would be rich today in money. However, I am willing to listen to the wisest and riches man in existence and invest in my future by storing up a treasure in heaven. By investing into a piece of the rock that brings forth living water. I choose to invest in Love and Respect (fear) for the king of the universe.

So I stand with you this mourning, as Joshua did so many years ago. We stand believing in the same God that Joshua trusted in. We declare this morning one more time “as for me and my house we choose the Lord.” May God bless you and keep you in His protection and Grace as the world around you sees your choice and knows where you treasure lies….
