We've had some crazy wild fires around here the last few days and the next two days have a high fire danger. We've had several friends who've lost their homes this year. Several to a tornado this last spring and then another to the fires two days ago. It's had me pondering what of the things in my house would be important enough to take. As we were watching the news last night, they showed one house in a million dollar neighborhood. The residents of the house were quickly shoving anything and everything into cars. You could see the flames above the trees in their backyard. I'm sure they were terrified! Thankfully, the firemen were able to hold the fire back and the house wasn't harmed, other than maybe a few burned shingles from the flying embers.
In Matthew 6:19-20 we read, "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moths nor rust destroys and thieves do not break in and steal."
These people have lost all their earthly things, but their treasures in heaven are safe and secure. So, what would you take?
