Where your Treasure Is...

Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. (Matthew 6:21, NLT)

It is easy to store up treasures here on earth. Sometimes we don't call them treasures... we simply have an excessive amount of stuff. I know I am no one to talk to be honest. I have way too much stuff.

How many of us have multiple Bibles? How often do you pick it up to read it, study it, reflect on it?
If you are like me, not often enough.

But I will pick up different items in the store that I don't really need and buy them, keep them in my house, never to be used and just collecting dust.

Our Bibles should never do that, but oftentimes they do.

Our Bibles are full of treasures and full of things to be learned, but we take them for granted and we forget how important they are.

Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will be...

Why don't we start storing up more heavenly treasures instead of focusing on earthly treasures? Why don't we get out our Bibles more and start learning more about our heavenly treasures and become better people?

In the end, we can’t take these material things with us. But we can build now for our eternity.

Let’s foster a life of love and kindness, and a deep desire to serve God by serving others around us.

Let’s learn all we can about God now.

Let’s build up the right kind of treasure.
