Matthew 6:21 – “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Proverbs 13:22 – “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children…”
It’s easy to get caught up in the now.
Urgency pulls at us constantly- bills to pay, goals to chase, boxes to check. And while there’s wisdom in living with focus and drive, we were never meant to live with only the short game in mind.
God’s economy runs on a bigger calendar.
He thinks in generations. In legacies. In eternity.
When Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21), He wasn’t just talking about money. He was talking about direction. Because whatever you consistently invest in – whether it’s time, resources, or attention – your heart will eventually follow.
That’s why this principle matters:
Short-term thinking leads to survival. Long-term thinking leads to legacy.
Proverbs 13:22 tells us that “a good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” That’s not just about a bank account – it’s about a life that echoes into the future.
A man who lives generously.
A man who builds with wisdom.
A man whose kids, and grandkids, will walk on trails he carved with faith and discipline.
That kind of life doesn’t happen by accident.
It takes intentionality. It takes obedience. And it takes the courage to live for something more than applause, promotions, or comfort.
When you think eternally, you handle today differently.
You parent differently.
You manage money differently.
You serve differently.
Because you know it all adds up – not just here, but forever.
So give when it’s easier to keep.
Lead when it’s easier to coast.
Speak truth when it would be safer to stay quiet.
Live like the Kingdom of God is real – because it is.
That’s a wrap on this series
Get to Work. Get Honest. Get in Position.
This is the final post in the Made to Produce series—and I hope it’s been both a challenge and an encouragement.
Here’s what we’ve walked through together:
- You were made to produce – Work isn’t punishment. It’s purpose.
- Work in your giftings – Your calling flows from your design.
- Honesty is a big deal – God blesses clean hands and a clean heart.
- Blessing is attached to diligence – Faithfulness builds what luck never could.
- Money is a worship issue – God doesn’t bless your tips. He blesses your trust.
- Be smart with money – Stewardship begins with wisdom, not guesswork.
- Be wary of debt – Don’t let borrowed money steal your future freedom.
- Be wary of covetousness – Comparison kills contentment.
- Think long-term – Legacy is built one faithful step at a time.
This wasn’t about getting rich.
It was about getting free.
Free to serve. Free to give. Free to walk in your calling without being chained to the patterns of this world.
So wherever you are—start today.
Get to work.
Get honest.
Get in position.
God doesn’t multiply what you refuse to surrender.
Let’s build something that outlasts us.
