Day 300: Luke 12:1 - 13:35

The concept of perspective is one that although so incredibly simple, can be such a difficult one for we as Christians to truly grasp. In the early part of chapter 12, we read about Jesus talking to His Disciples and others about the importance of taking everything into perspective and understanding that just because we feel like something is important right now, in comparison to the things that God truly considers important, it's nothing at all. So many Christians spend their entire lives chasing after pointless, fleeting goals such as money and comfort, but God wants us to always remember that He is our main focus and if we will keep our eyes on Him, He will add everything else to our lives and allow us to live in true blessings that only He can offer. We must remember that everything that we work hard for in the natural will be burned up and completely disappear, but those spiritual treasures that we build up in His name will never go away.

- Father, help me to store up treasures in Heaven and not simply riches here on earth. I know that it's Your will to bless me, but those windows of Heaven won't be opened until I'm ready to surrender everything I have to focus on You and seek Your face rather than Your hands. -
