I saw an amazing car this week - it was a Morgan. After consulting Google, I can tell you that the Morgan is a ridiculously exclusive convertible that it is hand-made in England. If you want one, you’ll need to join the waiting list.

I saw the Morgan while driving along the busy Pacific Highway in Sydney. My passengers and I laughed that the driver would be getting wet in the light rain that was coming down. However, as we stopped laughing, the car spun out across both lanes of traffic, jumped the curb and wrapped around an electricity pole!

We stopped quickly to help the driver. Thankfully, he seemed okay though very shaken up. But even to the untrained eye, I knew that the Morgan was toast. Such immense structural damage – surely it was beyond repair? In 60 seconds, the Morgan was destroyed.

I felt sad for the driver and the split-second destruction of his pride and joy. But I began to wonder how I would cope if the possessions in my life were destroyed so abruptly. My car? My furniture? My computer? My investments? As I stood beside the road next to the crumpled Morgan, it was a helpful reminder about how much I care for my possessions here on Earth. In the end, moths, rust (and accidents) can destroy these things. God tells us not to store up the things of this earth (Matthew 6:19). It is much better to treasure the things of heaven.
