Frustration
“He that earneth wages earneth wages
to put into a bag with holes” (Haggai 1:6).
How true this is of today’s society. For those of our readers who are working full time, it’s very frustrating to bring home your hard-earned pay only to see it all disappear on bills and living expenses. That’s why it is SO important that your eternal riches don’t suffer the same fate. Treasure built in heaven can never disappear. Labor for the Lord will be rewarded by Him. I think sometimes He allows us to feel frustrated here with earthly things, so that we might be more and more occupied with Him and heavenly things. That’s why the Lord said to His disciples, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:19-21). What a rich spiritual inheritance is ours! “An inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you” (1 Peter 1:4).
