‘A
wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than
rubies… Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who
fears the Lord is to be praised’ (Proverbs 31:10,30). Lord, You’re
calling us to seek ‘treasures in heaven’ rather than ‘treasures on
earth’ (Matthew 6:19-21). You’re showing us that the riches of this
world will not last for ever: ‘All your riches and splendour have
vanished, never to be recovered… “Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in
fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious
stones and pearls! In one hour such great wealth has been brought to
ruin!”’ Help us to remember that there is one treasure which lasts
forever – the treasure of salvation. As we think of the eternal treasure
of Your salvation, may we grow stronger, may our hearts be filled
with praise for our Saviour: ‘Hallelujah! Salvation and power and glory
belong to our God’ (Revelation 18:14-17; 19:1).

Lord, may there be less trying to get our own way - and more walking in Your way.
