Investments that Matter

Most of the time when you use the word investment people immediately think of money. The word invest means to use, give, or devote (time, talent, etc) as for a purpose or to achieve something. How does it look when we invest in our relationship with God?

Example of how this looks in Scripture: Exodus 34:1-30

1. Preparation – verse 2 “be ready in the morning”
2. Personal and Private – verse 3 “No one else may come with you." NO DISTRACTIONS
3. Presence of God – verse 5 “Then the Lord came down in a cloud and stood there with him”
4. Praising God – verse 8 “Moses immediately threw himself to the ground and worshipped.”
5. Pardon – verse 9 “please forgive our sins”
6. Plans that God gives – verses 10-28 is the instructions and directions.
7. Pen to Paper – verse 27 “write the instructions down that I give to you”
