TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH 16TH JANUARY 2026 DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional – 16th January 2026, Friday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: The Safest Investment
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.
Matthew 6:19-20
RECOMMENDED READING
Philippians 3:17-21
In 2013, a hard drive belonging to a man in Wales was accidentally thrown away and ended up in a landfill. The man quickly realized the mistake. But he has been unable to retrieve the hard drive, which contained the digital keys necessary to access his investment
in cryptocurrency which, as of today, is worth almost $800 million! Sadly, this is irredeemable by him without the digital keys on the discarded hard drive, and so far, the courts have refused to allow him to dig up the landfill or buy it outright. His treasure remains lost.
Jesus warned His followers about accumulating treasures on earth where moths, rust, and thieves-and lost hard drives-can result in those treasures being destroyed. Instead, He advised accumulating a different kind of treasure-treasures in heaven that will last forever. Since we are citizens of heaven (Philippians 3:20), we should accumulate our treasures there.
Only two things on earth will last forever: souls and the Word of God. Investments made in those will become treasures in heaven.
