Rats in the Cash!
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
A rat in India got into an ATM machine and chewed up more than $17,500!
Talk about a rough way to lose a bunch of cash.
This reminded me of Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 concerning laying up treasures on earth. In the passage, He warns that moths, rust, or thieves can harm or even take away our treasure.
While money has a place in our lives, we dare not trust in it. If a moth or rat can take away our security, we’re in Big trouble. Our only true security is found in the Lord. Even our cash reminds us of that, with the inscription, “In God We Trust.”
So, today, who or what are you really trusting in?
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for providing for me. All that I have comes from Your good hand. Help me to never trust in money or wealth. You alone are my provider, protector, and true source of security. I trust in You today. In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen.
