Proper Portfolio
1 Timothy 6:19 In this way, they will lay up treasures for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that us truly life.
What makes the perfect portfolio? What is it that will earn good returns and will profit you in the end? What will sustain you throughout the rest of your life? What is the proper way to go about designing that which is best for your future? Good deeds, Generosity, and Willingness to Share.
These three things are paramount in living out one's salvation. You cannot remain a Christian living on the laurels of Christ. Certainly he is the author and perfecter of our faith, but each of us has a responsibility to live it out in our everyday life. Take Nehemiah, after threatened and made fun of, he brought his difficulties to the Lord in prayer, then he stirred up the people to continue the work of the Lord and took strength in God's goodness and finished the wall around Jerusalem.
K and A, carry on the work of the Lord. If it is teaching, then teach. If it helping the proverbial old lady across the street, then get her safely across without getting hit. Paul says that when we share and help others through our good deeds, it not only benefits them, it pays off for you in eternity. The perfect portfolio consist of a diverse accounting of good deeds done for the enrichment of others, not ourselves. Money is good in its proper place. God gives us good things for our pleasure, but not just us alone. He expect us to share them with others. Do so, and it will bring about a storehouse of great dividends you seek... throughout eternity.
