“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21 KJV
What is your treasure?
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” Luke 6:45 KJV
With what do you fill your heart and mind? TV shows, games, sports, cooking, books, cars, politics, guns, hobbies, work, pets, home; the list goes on and on.
I work where people talk ALL the time. I'm amazed at the topics, and often repulsed by the details, I overhear! The unhappy people talk the most, and often about how they have been wronged. Others about celebrities and their train wrecked lives; thanks to the trashy magazines those stories are in great supply.
The happy people talk most about their faith in Jesus; a topic of which I never tire!
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” Matthew 22:37 KJV
Of what portion do you give The Lord each day; each week; each month?
- Is it moment by moment?
- Do you occasionally think of Him?
- Do you go to Him only in crisis?
- Twice a year when holidays come around?
I have found the more I learn about Him; the more time I spend with Him, the more I desire Him! The closer I get to Him, the closer I want to get!
He IS my treasure!
“As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” Psalms 42:1 KJV
When Jesus becomes your "principal purpose" the world fades away, becoming less and less important! Pleasing Him is my goal! And talking about my Treasure is all I want to do! What He is doing in my life and the lives around me, is amazing and He gets all of the glory!
The highlight of my day is sharing Jesus, especially with like-minded believers!
Whatever your task; whatever your test, keeping your eyes on Him brings peace and joy that you will never find in this world!
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3 KJV
Listen to yourself today!
Examine your heart.
I pray you would treasure my Treasure!
Even so - MARANATHA!
