Precious treasure and oil are in the dwelling of the wise person, but a foolish man consumes them. Proverbs 21:20
A wise person knows what is really treasure. What many consider treasure is useless collections which can be gone in a bush fire, a flood or a storm. What is treasure to you? Could insurance cover return it to you?
I find myself treasuring people and memories, the little things, a sunset, a sunrise, an ancient tree, a steadfast friend, a well behaved neighbour, faithful dogs, my old mum and my aunts, my little grandchildren. I cannot replace these without considerable pain, and many not at all.
I know people who collect houses, gold bars, coins, jewellery, cars etc but all of these thieves can steal, fires can burn.
Jesus told us to store up treasure in heaven when moths cannot destroy. I treasure what my God gives me. The wonderful people who impact my life with their faithfulness to their God. I love the client's God gives me, the staff He gives me, the specialists He provides to me to assist me in my work. I know any treasure He gives me will not rot, it will remain. Amen!
A foolish person is one who cannot see what is before them nor understand the importance of the little things and crushes them underfoot. The fool eats, wipes his face and looks for more and does not see the person who served him.
