S - Scripture
Nahum 3 v. 16 You increased your merchants more than the stars of heaven. The locust spreads its wings and fly away.
O - Observation
Focus on things eternal. For.... Here today - Gone tomorrow. Just as a swarm of locust will seem impressive while they are here, soon they will move on and there will be nothing. Matthew 16 v. 26, "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life?" So if the things of this world will come and go, what should we focus on? Matthew 6 v. 19-20, "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal." So how do we go about getting eternal treasure? We invest our focus on Jesus. Matthew 6 v. 21, "For where your treasure is, there will be your heart."
A - Application
What is my focus? What am I placing as my treasure?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to focus on the eternal and not the temporary. Love Will
