Too good to be true

Do you ever experience the insecurity feeling of losing what we have when everything goes so well in our lives? If not, I have..

I always ask myself why would I have such feeling? Why would I think of a bad thing when everything good is happening? Does that mean I don't trust God enough?

The "Ann Landers" advice column which is regular in US newspaper for 45 years would receive 10,000 letters a month about people’s problems. She was asked, what is the number one problem that people have? It all boils down to anxiety. She said people are afraid of losing their health. People are afraid of losing their wealth. People are afraid of losing their loved ones. She said people are afraid of life itself.

Maybe the question of "What is my treasure?" would reveal the answer I need.
Matthew 6:21 says, "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" When we treasure our wealth, health, family, church, occupation above all else, our heart is there. And as we realised we could lose any of it anytime, anxiety has consumed our heart.

God has treasured us by giving His own life for us. We said He is our saviour, in Him we put our trust that everything will be alright. But the big question is "Have we treasured God?"Have we really treasure the One that would never leave us?

When we learn to treasure God far more valuable than the other things we treasure, life would never be too good to be true :)
