After yesterday, Matthew 6:19-20 means more to me. It reads: “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" (NKJV).
I ministered in Joplin, MO, yesterday where the huge F5 tornado destroyed a major part of the community a while back. At the close of the first service I prayed with a man with a smile on his face and a testimony of God's goodness on his lips. He told me he had lost both his home and his business. He had nothing left. Then he said, with a glimmer in his eye, "That's why it's so important to 'lay up treasures in heaven.'"
After that, how can I ever complain again?
