Something Better:

            Better and abiding possession:

           

Hebrews 10:34

34 For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.

            It’s hard to think about Heavenly possessions when you live in a physical world. We can touch these things with our hands. When they are taken away from us, we feel a sense of loss. But these things are just temporal. They won’t last. What we have in Heaven is much better than these things and will last forever. They can take away our physical possessions, but no one can take away our Heavenly ones.         

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "There is nothing in this life that is important. Only those things that have to do with the Kingdom are important. Set your minds on those things which are above; for they are the important things. They will set you free; not the material things of this world. They will only bring you into bondage to the ways of the world. Trust in Me to supply all your needs; for they are important to Me … for when you do not have what you need, your mind is ever on them and not on My Kingdom. You have no need to fear. I have chosen gladly to give you the Kingdom; and the things of the Kingdom will make you wealthy beyond imagination. You are My children. Would you allow your children to suffer? Then why do you think that I would allow My children to suffer. You shall overcome in this life and the next as you trust in Me.”

            65. I have a better possession than all the things here on earth and it will last forever.
