We all invest in something. We invest in our family. We invest in our work. We invest in ourselves. We all invest in something. What do you invest in? God wants us to invest in His Kingdom. God wants us to invest in others. He wants us to invest in heavenly things…things that moth or rust cannot destroy…things that a thief cannot not steal. I have learned how temporary earthly things are in the scheme of things. One time, I had a signed football from the 1985 Oklahoma football team that won a national title. It was stolen out of my office and never recovered. Earthly investments can be here one moment and gone the next. The same is true for our lives. A prominent businessmen once died and for several days shock waves rippled through the community. Everyone was stunned by the accident that took his life. That was about five years ago. Today no one misses the man. In fact, since his funeral, his name has been mentioned only once or twice. You see, his death was shocking but because he had invested only in things rather than in people, hardly anyone was saddened by his passing. He was commercially successful, but relationally poor. He was a man who lived only for his own self-interests. He did not invest in other people. Everything he did, he did for himself. Let’s invest in God’s Kingdom! Let’s invest in other people! Let’s make a difference that will last…
