The Answer Is In Your Hands

"Don't store up treasures here on earth ... Store them in heaven where they will never lose their value." - Matthew 6:19-20 (TLB).

According to legend, writes Zig Ziglar, a very wise old man lived on a hilltop overlooking the beautiful city of Venice in Italy. It was reputed that he could answer any question anyone might ask him. Two local boys figured they could trick him so caught a bird and took it to the wise sage.

"Tell us," they asked, "is the bird in our hand dead
or alive?"

The wise man replied, "Son, if I say the bird is alive, you will close your hands and crush it to death. Or, if I say the bird is dead, you will open your hands and it will fly away. The answer is in your hands."

And so it is with life. Whether we succeed or fail, live a meaningful or empty life, lay up treasures in heaven or go empty handed to meet our Lord and Savior, it's all in our hands! For whatever we sow we reap. It's the law of the harvest. - Galatians 6:7.
