Women's Focus Ministries

We are a group of Christian women (and one man) who write daily devotionals and other articles of interest to women.
We publish daily. Praying that you will enjoy this ministry.

Thank you and God bless,

Corinne Mustafa.......and the Writing Staff of "WFM"

One of our writers is writing a novel, called AFTER THE EVENT, that is published Saturdays separately from the daily posts. There is a link on the left side that will take you to the blog of the novel which is being posted in installments.

Good Morning,

The theme of today's writing is what makes a successful life. We see that a lot of us measure counting things that do not matter now or in eternity. How we appraise our lives should be built on God's treasure and not on our material possessions. Carol wrote, "God wants us to expend time and energy on growing spiritually and possessing the treasure of the Kingdom of God. Open you Bible and seek to possess what will enrich your life now and through all eternity."

Praying that you have a weekend that is filled with real treasures.

"MEASURING LIFE"

Written by

Carol Steficek

"Then he said to them, Watch out!

Be on your guard against all kinds of greed;

a man's life does not consist in the abundance

of his possessions."

Luke 12:15

What is your standard for measuring your life -- how well you are doing, what you have accomplished? Many people measure their lives by their possessions. they are constantly looking at what their neighbors have or what the latest advertisements on television offer. They aren't satisfied unless they have more and better than everyone else.

God does want us to have all we need in this life -- He wants us to be comfortable and well cared for. However, we don't need to have such a superabundance of things that taking care of everything consumes all of our time and energy. All of us are guilty of this to some extent.

When I clean house I often wonder why I have so many knick-knacks to dust. Sometimes I have actually given some to the thrift shop so they can make money for charities. There are only so many things we need and can use. Most of us have more than enough.

So how do you measure your life? We need to be on guard that we don't measure our lives by worldly standards. God wants us to expend time and energy on growing spiritually and possessing the treasure of the Kingdom of God. Open you Bible and seek to possess what will enrich your life now and through all eternity.
