Sending Up Your Timber.

                                                               Sending Up Your Timber.


Acts of Kindness and Love, Are Sending Up Your Timber.


Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  “For where your treasure is, there your heart (mind) will be also.  (Matthew 6:19-21)


Are you Sending Up Your Timber or Using all of your Timber for you?


Sending Up Your Timber is a term some Christians of old equated with “Doing Acts of Kindness and Giving to others in Need”, the timber is for the building of our home in heaven.  The Timber that we Send Up, we can not use for self.


Our Daily Nugget

Chapter starts with “Giving to the Needy” and then goes on to talk about “Prayer”, then it talks about “Fasting”, then it talks about “Treasures in Heaven”, then it ends telling us “Do Not Worry”.  Remember, the Bible is God’s Instructions on How to Become a Believer and How to Live as a Believer.  Living as a Christian is not the same as Living as a Religious or Spiritual Person.  Living as a Christian is based on the Bible Alone, living as a Religious or Spiritual person are based on Manmade Rules and Regulations.  Christians do not love the world nor the things in it.


The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil.

The Love of Money will Prevent Us From Sending Up Our Timber.


To utilize all that God Gives us on us, turns what could have been an Eternal Blessing, into a temporary delight, at best.  Jesus said to the Rich Christian, sell all you have, give it to the poor and come follow me, and you’ll have Riches in Heaven.  The Rich Christian Loved the World, more than he Loved the Word.


We Each Need to Prayerfully, Examine Ourselves.


To Love the World over the Word will Prevent Us From Sending Up Our Timber.  The Spirit of Selfishness will say to us; “You Need All You Have, For You”.Therefore, I Can’t Send any of My Timber, Anywhere.

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

What?

                                                                                 What? “What we Think”, “Guides What we Do”. “Above All”, be Careful “What” You Think because your “Thoughts” control your life.   (Proverbs 4:23) We Can Think, “Anything” we want to Think. “What” We Think “Determines the Parameters of Our Life”. Our Daily Nugget is Solomon, telling us that Through Careful “Thinking”, we can have “The Life We Choose”.   We are God’s Children, our Father has All Power, who can Do All Things.   Through His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, we can do all things through Him.   We can Think Carefully about things that leads to life and things that leads to death.   We, as God’s Children, has been given Great Ability to Control the Spirit World through our “Think...

Real Strength!

                                                                           Real Strength!   “Real Strength” is Humility - “Real Weakness” is Pride.. In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders.   All of you, clothe yourselves with “humility” toward one another, because   “God Opposes the proud” but Shows “Favor” to the Humble”.   “Humble yourselves”, therefore under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time.   Cast all your anxiety on Hum “Because He Cares For You”. (1 Peter5:5&6) The Humbled Heart/Mind has God Fighting For Them;   “That’s Real Strength”, “That’s God’s Favor”! Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that “We All Need To Clothe Ourselves in Humility”, because; God opposes the Proud, and that God “Shows Favor to the ...
