Treasure Hunt

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 

By now, we have all heard about Michael Jackson, "The King of Pop".  The doctors are claiming that he went into cardiac arrest and died shortly after.  The Jackson family is demanding a 2nd autopsy to confirm the cause of his death. The fact remains ... Michael Jackson is dead.  He sold millions, and is reported to have had 13 songs that were #1 hits.  Most artists would consider it a successful career to have one song become a #1 hit.  

The world is in shock, and many are completely devastated at Michael's death at the age of 50.  However, there is a truth that is more devastating and solemn than his death ... where Michael now is.  Reports have said that he was close to converting to Islam, thanks to his brother's efforts.  Nobody but the Lord truly knows where and what and who his heart served, but we do know that his life was anything but glorifying to God.

People want to make Michael immortal, almost like he was a god, but we know that the Bible says that it is appointed for everybody to die, and then comes judgment.  "King of Pop" or not, without Jesus, there is no hope for Michael Jackson.  He built his treasure and fantasy land and made his music and videos with all of his heart.  Now, it's all worthless to him.  Salvation is the only important factor left for him, and without Jesus, that salvation is no longer available to him.

Listen the Lord's warning in the verse at the top.  Be careful what you value and love and commit your life to.  Nothing will last for eternity, except those things done as unto the Lord and in HIs will.  Your heavenly Father loves you and wants you to let Him have the control in your life, that He may bless it and make it count!
