Bug spray and wd40, avoiding rust and moth

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21 ESV)

I keep going back to Psalm 73 and the idea of living as if we are on our way out.  If we knew there was no tomorrow for us, we would not hold on tightly to our material things, but instead make certain that all of the things that have been unspoken in our lives were said, all the wrongs righted, and all of our prized things given to whomever we wanted.  Truth be told, this is how we should live every day, not being mindful of the things of this world, but rather being certain that the things not of this world have been spoken to all who can and will here.  This will prosper us none on the Earth, yet the spiritual reward, both personal and communal, are great.  Just imagine meeting someone in Heaven who can be tied to the testimony of Christ's work in your own life...that is treasure in deed!
