In our materialistic world, I really appreciate the reminder of the
importance of "heavenly treasures" vs. worldly treasures! It is
especially reassuring to understand and believe that we can "store" up
treasures in heaven every time we trust in our Lord. In that way, we are
blessed with God's Peace and Presence during all of life's storms.
A phrase from today's scripture in Matthew 6 has always gotten my attention: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." I
think that means that when I worry about having money and things, that
is where my heart is - on money and things! To me, this passage is
telling us that what is important is trusting in our Lord so that our heart is where it should be - focusing on heavenly treasures.
What do you do to ensure that you are storing up heavenly treasures rather than being focused on accumulating money or things?
