“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21 (ESV)
We do not have to dig very far in our verse to see our promise is today. Where do we find our heart anchored? It’s where the things we treasure most are. If the things that have the greatest value to us are here on earth, that is where our heart is. If we treasure the things in heaven, our heart is there. For several reason in previous verses (Matthew 6:19-20) we are told to not store treasure on this earth. Earthly treasures lose value, if the start out with any in the first place. The clothing we treasure will be deteriorate and become rags because all things are subject to decay. Material trinkets will rust away even when kept carefully. Thieves will steal your valuables treasures. None of these things will happen to the truths which we find in the Word of God and treasure at great value. What does this mean to us? We may favor certain things in our life but nothing should become so much a treasure that it draws us away from the treasure God has given to us in His Word. Let’s use Heaven for our treasure trove.
