Black Friday

Matthew 6:19-21
¹⁹Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
 ²⁰But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
 ²¹For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.


Black Friday is the biggest sale day of the year...people rushing around, waiting in long lines, and shelling out their money for things that by next year (or before) will be long forgotten. Got to get that perfect gift for everyone on your Christmas list, we have all done it one time or another. I haven't gone out today, I have gotten to the point I hate crowds. LOL!

Today kicks off the Christmas season, the season that is supposed to celebrate the birth of the King of Kings, the holy child that was born in a stable and laid in a manger. Somehow I don't think the Christmas season of today was what God had in mind when we celebrate His son's birthday. When the wisemen brought Jesus their gifts it was in adoration of Him, now it could be just me, but knocking someone down in your rush to have the lastest gadget at the best price is not exactly bringing glory to Jesus. :)

The above scripture points out that we should be putting up our treasures in Heaven not here on earth...the things here on earth are only for a short time...even the lastest electronic item will be a thing of the past in a few months. So this year instead of driving yourself crazy shopping for the next 'big thing" that "junior" just cannot live without, why not stop and think about the real reason for the season..Jesus...the treasure that will never be outdated.

Thanks for stopping by,

Teresa
