The Best Investment You Can Make!

When we think about investments, we often think about finances. According to Google, an investment is “the action or process of investing money for profit or material result.” But what if the most valuable asset isn’t in stocks, real estate, or even our careers, but instead in our relationship with God?

Redefining What It Means to Invest

The world typically views investments as a means to increase wealth or gain something tangible. In contrast, investing in our faith might not yield a material return, but it brings incredible spiritual returns. When we commit ourselves to seeking God, we discover a depth of peace, strength, and purpose that no money can buy. A desire for immediate gain doesn’t drive this kind of investment but by pursuing something enduring and meaningful.

Why Seeking God is the Ultimate Investment?

Scripture reminds us of the value of investing in things that last beyond this life.

In Matthew 6:20-21, Jesus says, “Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” 

When we “store up treasures in heaven,” we’re choosing to invest in values and truths that last beyond any temporary gain.

The peace, wisdom, and purpose that come from a relationship with God equip us to navigate life’s challenges and clarify our path. Rather than pursuing short-term gains, seeking God offers us a steady foundation, even when the world around us feels uncertain.

How to Invest in Your Faith

Investing in God doesn’t require a portfolio or a financial strategy, but it does require intentional time and effort. Here are some simple yet powerful ways to deepen this investment:

1. Set aside time for prayer and reflection: Time and attention are essential in any relationship. Setting aside moments daily to pray or reflect helps us stay connected and builds a strong foundation in our faith.

2. Study the Word: Engaging with Scripture is one of the best ways to know God intimately. His word provides wisdom, direction, and comfort—investments that yield returns in our daily lives.

3. Connect with Others on a Similar Journey: Fellowship with others who share your faith strengthens your relationship with God. When we share our experiences and grow together, our faith and support networks deepen.

4. Serve Others: When we give our time, love, and support to others, we live out God’s purpose for us. Acts of service deepen our relationship with God and allow us to invest in the lives of others.

   
   

The Return on Your Investment

In the world’s eyes, the “return” of investing in God might be different. But spiritually, the returns are transformative. You gain clarity, resilience, a renewed sense of purpose, and an eternal perspective on life’s ups and downs. Seeking God fills us with peace and joy that isn’t tied to circumstances, reminding us that we’re grounded in something far more significant than ourselves.

Investing in our relationship with God is a quiet, profound decision to seek what is eternal in a world focused on quick profits and material gain. When our hearts are anchored in Him, we can navigate life with strength, purpose, and peace that defy explanation.

This is the kind of “return” that truly matters.

Never forget that the best investment that you can make is seeking God.
