Enduring Possessions

I came upon this verse reading my Bible this morning:

"for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven. Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward." -Hebrews 10:34-35 NKJV

I caught a glimpse of how life-changing this truth could be when it is truly believed and cherished. Imagine how the lustre of earthly possessions begin to pale when one is really convinced that possessions better and more enduring than anything attainable on earth await him. Talk about striking a lethal blow to the materialism in which we are entrenched in our culture. I think I will go a meditate on this treasure stored up for me in heaven!
