Philadelphia Biblical University is a great school!     I don’t know if you have been to any of their chapels, but they are excellent!   Today the air was filled with worship to God as about 900 students participated in giving their voices to singing!  The key speaker talked about camping ministry, and gave some good insight into encouraging Christians to give everything they have to God, because God is their provider and will not leave them hanging.

 “ The ^house of the wicked will be destroyed, But the tent of the upright will flourish.” Proverbs 14:11

I thought that these pictures were really great visuals to show the difference between the wicked and the upright in the passage above.  How come the wicked get a house, and the upright only gets a tent? 

This question raises the idea that if you had 3 million dollars to spend on 2 homes, and 1 home you would live in for 1 day, and the other home you would live in forever, what would you do with the money? 

The camping minister at PBU said that he would probably spend about $20.00 on food and snacks from Walmart, and then go out behind the store and get a cardboard box out of the dumpster to live in, and that would be his home for 1 day!  Then he would spend the rest of the $2,999,980 dollars on the other Mansion that will be his home forever!

This story was just a great reminder to me, to spend all my resources that God gives me for things that will last, instead of using God’s resources on other things that will be here today, and gone tomorrow.  It is a good reminder to me that the only things that will last are those done for and from God’s Kingdom!   

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4

When a person gives all they have and seeks after God’s purposes, God is able to provide for them from His bountiful riches from His glory!  If you are a Christian, then your number 1 desire is for God’s purposes because you are part of His Kingdom.  Then your, true desire will be to obtain and share the abundance of God’s resources to the earth, and possibly choose a good movable tent for a day, over something earthly, which will be destroyed soon.
