2 Pet 3:10

"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up" 2 Pet 3:10

What did you do today? Was it important? How important? No matter what your answer, I have one other question. Did it have eternal significance? All that we do will be tested by the fire Peter talks about. The houses we built, the lessons we learned, the cars we bought, the jobs we performed - all of it. I can guarantee you that any of them that are on the earth in the day of the cataclysm that Peter talks about will be lost.

What then can be saved? The things that are stored up in heaven - those and those alone will be saved. Those alone will be found worthy of keeping. Those alone will have sufficient value to last an eternity. What are they? The lives changed because we sent a missionary some needed funds - or more importantly - prayer at just the right time. The soul that will not be lost because you smiled and befriended a stranger - with the ultimate end that they came to the Lord. The child saved from the abortionist's table. The time spent in service of the King - even though it may have been cleaning toilets in a nursing home. These and many more are the treasures laid up in heaven.

As you proceed through tomorrow doing the things you do, ask yourself one question. What am I doing that has eternal value - what treasure am I laying up in heaven today? Hallelujah, Amen and Amen.
