The following story is about laying up treasures on earth. If you could take worldly treasures with you to heaven they would only melt. Any earthly business could never be as profitable to us as our Father’s business; the Savior said that He because all that the Father hath shall be ours. David Whitmer prayed and asked what he could do that would be of greatest worth to him. The Lord answered and said, “The greatest thing you could do for yourself is to bring souls unto me.” There is a universal law, the law of the harvest, ‘whatsoever a man sows so shall he reap’. All effort will be rewarded, and the reward will be greater than we can contain. Count Tolstoy once wrote about a peasant who lived very comfortably on a small 5 acre farm. He had a friend who told him he ought to acquire more land. So he bought another five acres and soon 50 and then 150 acres and soon he purchased 1,000 acres. Then one day he was given an opportunity to acquire all the land he could run around from sunup to sundown. The next morning when it came time to start he ran three hours to the west, then he turned and ran three hours to the North and then he turned East and ran three hours and finally he ran three hours to the South to his starting place. When he got to the finish line just before dark he dragged himself across the line and dropped over dead of a heart attack. He was buried in a plot of land 3 Ft. wide by 6 ft. long and 6 ft. deep. That is all the land he really needed. We have to keep a proper perspective as to what we need and what we will do for more. We do not want to kill ourselves for more than we need. “We can live on less if we have more to live for.” That is the true answer to David Whitmer’s prayer and mine.
