“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21 ESV)
Tonight's passage is one that is often referenced in times of hardship or adversity. What about during times of plenty? This passage is a reminder that we can't take our earthy stuff with us and that heavenly treasure is eternal. Our hearts must not be set on the STUFF on earth, rather our hearts should be set on Heaven, on eternity.
Living in this manner is a daily challenge (not that I have attained it). It is our calling to a higher purpose , a calling to serve The Lord of all creation, who graciously loves us, and prepares a place for us for all eternity.
