“Stop collecting treasures for your own benefit on earth, where moth and rust eat them and where thieves break in and steal them. Instead, collect treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moth and rust don’t eat them and where thieves don’t break in and steal them. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. “The eye is the lamp of the body. Therefore, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how terrible that darkness will be! No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be loyal to the one and have contempt for the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. (Matthew 6:19-24,CEB)
Where is your treasure? First, to answer this, you need to know what your treasure is. Treasure is not always financial. It is time and yourself. If we place these things into God’s hands, our hearts will follow where God is leading us.
I have said many times that if you show me your checkbook register, I can tell you what and where your treasure is, who/what is your idol, and your god.
We need to give all our treasure over to God, where it will be safely held, and so our hearts follow. We can’t get our hearts in line and then know our treasure will follow; it is really the other way around. Place your treasure in God’s hands and know your heart will follow.
Who do you serve?
