Like I mentioned the other day, I'm finally home from my eastern road trip of sorts.
And tonight was extra special because I got to spend some time with my brothers in Christ that are fellow truckers. We meet each and every Thursday night for a quick bible study but also for prayers. And most importantly, for fellowship with dudes that understand each other.
I've spoken about this trucking ministry before, and I still maintain that it's one of the most important ministries I've ever discovered. And our bible study each week helps cement that belief.
Tonight we were talking about one of the 10 commandments, and specifically the tenth commandment.
The one that talks about....Coveting.
And honestly, I think it's one we all at one time or another, fail miserably at. I know I do...My goodness, how many times have I said in my life....I wish I had this, or I wish I had that. Jealously and selfishly, it seems to creep up into our lives more than we'd live to admit.
What also seems to be attached at this sin we hold onto, usually has to do with money. Or some kind of wealth that we assume will make all our lives better. And yeah, I've spoken about this before on this blog.
But here's where the bible study with my trucking brothers comes into play....
We started talking and before we all started feeling sorry for ourselves, one of the members of the group chimed in...
I consider myself the richest guy in the world, and it's got nothing to do with money!
It took us by surprise but not for long, because we knew exactly where he was going, and we all started saying....Amen!
You see, as a believer in Christ we should all consider ourselves extremely rich! Imagine the gift we are going to be given, robes of righteousness! Eternal life with our Lord and Savior.
Its something that no amount of money can ever purchase, I mean it's literally...A gift!
And what a precious gift it is. His blood, shed for us, so that we can reign with Him for eternity. Oh wretched man that I am, I don't deserve this...Grace!
And I think at times I can never wrap my head around that marvellous grace. But getting back to that statement, this is so important for believers to remember because guess what...
Life is rough!
Sometimes it sucks.
But the hope of glory is what we keep our eyes on, the promise of a future eternity with our Creator.
That's not just rich.....That's absolute wealth!
