Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus Podcast
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
SHOW NOTES:
In Podcast Episode 262, “Aim to Be a Heavenly Packrat,” Kim discusses the contrast between the earthly wealth stored up by King Solomon and the instructions of Jesus to store up treasures in heaven. It sounds like heavenly hoarding should be our primary focus.
Our focal passages for this episode are 1 Kings 10:14-29; 2 Chronicles 9:13-28 with verses 1 Kings 10:23-25 as the focal verses:
23 So King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king on earth. 24 People from every nation came to consult him and to hear the wisdom God had given him. 25 Year after year everyone who visited brought him gifts of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.

Additional Resources and Scriptures:
- “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.“ (Matthew 6:19-21)
- ”Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth—except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers! People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep. There is another serious problem I have seen under the sun. Hoarding riches harms the saver. Money is put into risky investments that turn sour, and everything is lost. In the end, there is nothing left to pass on to one’s children. We all come to the end of our lives as naked and empty-handed as on the day we were born. We can’t take our riches with us. And this, too, is a very serious problem. People leave this world no better off than when they came. All their hard work is for nothing—like working for the wind. Throughout their lives, they live under a cloud—frustrated, discouraged, and angry. Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life.“ (Ecclesiastes 5:10-18)
