Collect Moments With God

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 1 Timothy 6:17

My office is adorned with found items from my walks. I have rocks, shells, an imitation gold chain, little colored felt balls and feathers. I gathered them up, like special gifts dropped before me along my course. It is good to remember all the gifts, both tangible and sublime. 

The moments collected with God are not moments spent, but moments invested. It’s not just about quality, it is about quantity. A moment with God is without question a moment of value, so increase the quantity. Invest more of your moments in Him. God does richly provide me with everything for my enjoyment. Walking with Him is truly delightful.  The more delighted I become in Him, the more delighted I want God to become with me! It became my passion to make our walks the most enjoyable part of His day too! 

Soon those golden moments begin to spill, back to Him and upon others. I become more willing and eager to give to others, to treasure and be available to those He put in my daily path. Collect His divine gifts to overflow that they spill to the benefit and blessing of others.

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.                   1 Timothy  6:18-19
