Out of the uncertainty in financial markets, especially in Greece, comes a great illustration of the biblical principle of Matthew 6:19-21. The following illustration is taken from a recent news article.
“One senior investment banker is more blunt: “People are scared that the government doesn’t know what it’s doing.” He tells a story about an acquaintance who took out €30,000 (Euro = $42,546), wrapped it in a bag and stashed it in his garage. “The bag had previously had some food inside,” he says. “So it attracted rats, who ate the notes.”"
So much better to lay up our treasures in heaven (Matthew 6:20-21)!
