S.E.E.D. For Today_Asset Allocation
Scripture "Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later." Romans 8:18 NLT
Contemplation of the future privileges of the believer leads Paul to think of the contrast this makes with the present state. He shows that the risk and suffering involved is the path we tread as we move to blessing and to glory. The early Christians led a somewhat dangerous existence, it may well be that the contemplation of the future glory was very precious to them. Paul sets the risk and the sufferings over against the coming glory, saying that they are not worth comparing with it. Troublesome as they are he is willing to risk his life to obtain fulfilling God's will and to receive the reward. Paul allocates the asset of receiving the eternal glory of God in this perspective; he says that our light and momentary troubles (the risk) are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all" 2Cor. 4:17
Example Asset Allocation is an investment term, it is a strategy that strives to achieving minimizing risk and maximizing return by an adjustment. The adjustment is to be able to balance risk vs. reward. Paul exhibited this concept he understood that the sufferings of this present age, the risk involved could not compare to what's to come.
Exercise Read Romans 8:18-30 Take 30 minutes and read The Dow, the word of God read His promises for your life. Faith is taking a risk, get a asset allocated mindset knowing that the risk is in no comparison to the reward.
Devotion Lord I pray today for your wisdom to understand the risk vs. the reward, I pray that I balance the concept that I not sway in my faith. Strengthen my knowledge of your path. I pray that I will not focus on the affliction for it is achieving an eternal glory that far outweighs the risk. Help me to remain faithful to the Dow, in Jesus Name Amen.
