Business oriented people know well the great
value of investment. They are on the look out for
investment opportunities that would yield
profitable returns. They set goals and sharpen
their vision through their philosophies of life.
They have the capacity to motivate themselves and
others to stay enthusiastic as they pursue their
target. In due time, they will receive the
coveted reward of their labor and they are worthy
to be honored. The principle of investment is so
important and rewarding.
As we try hard to cope up with the current fast
pace of life, many have inclined their hearts to
the cares of this world hoping to elude the
enslaving power of insecurity. Sad to say, but
it’s true, that many have been very succesful
in their chosen career and reached a remarkable
level of financial stability, but they have
neglected their own home. On the other side of
life, they are living in worst poverty, which is
spiritual poverty. Literally, figuratively and
spiritually speaking, man is made by what he
eats. It is not wise to invest things just to
get gain and satisfy the carnal desire of our
hearts but neglect the most needed investment
for our home and spiritual growth. Balanced
and appropriated investment must be carefully
considered before we experience the sorrowful
effects of self-centered goals.
Where are we investing? What kinds of
profits or returns do we want to realize? What
is the real value of those things that facinate
our deceitful hearts? They may sound like
ivestigative questions, but they are great help
to every Christian who is mindful of the blessed
will of God. It is always safe and wise to weigh
up things on the balance of truth. Investing in
the right place at the right time is always
rewarding.
Investing profitable things in our family is
a very relevant and essential investment of our
time. As we set goals for the betterment of our
spiritual life, we have to consider what the Bible
says concerning essential investment in our own
home.
