Matthew 6:19-20
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.
What of Today’s Verse…
Where do you hide your heart? What we most value is where we will find our heart. So it is an important question. You see, we can treasure riches, control, security, and relationships. Jesus reminds us that it is only by turning loose of the things that most of us keep as our treasures that we find what is truly treasure indeed.
Let us Pray:
Majestic Father, I pray that out of the riches of your grace, you may help me find my treasure in you and nothing else. Today, I want to offer you all that I am and have, so that my life will be lived for your glory. In the name of Jesus, my example and treasure I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Protected
God is all I need.
When we were children, we sometimes felt invincible. Nothing could stand in our way or harm us. Even if we did have a concern, the embrace of a parent or other caring adult quickly comforted us.
As adults, we may feel that those protective arms have fallen away. In such times of uncertainty, we can call on God’s loving, sheltering presence.
The spirit of God is within us and goes before us. At any time, any one of us can “lean on the everlasting arms” and feel safe and secure.
We are children of God, always loved and supported.
“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” –Acts 2:39
