TRUE TREASURE
READ PSALMS 73:1 THROUGH 74:23; ACTS 23:1–22
Believers might react with envious hearts toward riches of the corrupt or with arrogant pride toward immorality. All of these are unhealthy attitudes for Christians. How does God want believers to view unbelievers, whether they are rich or poor?
But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds (Psalm 73:28).
Just as Asaph, the author of this psalm, realized that he needed to focus on God, Christians should seek the Lord’s perspective toward the lost. Then hearts of compassion will replace wrong attitudes. God loves all people and desires that they be forgiven for their sins and receive Jesus as Lord. Like Asaph, believers can tell of a treasure that goes beyond earthly riches and provides hope, peace with God, and help in times of trouble.
As we look at people through the lens of God’s love, let’s pray for opportunities to humbly talk about what Jesus has done for us.
