🌴THEME: LAYING UP TREASURES IN HEAVEN
🌴DATE: 23-05-15
🌴VERSE: Matthew 6:19-21 (ESV): 19 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
🌴FROM THE VERSE: This verse is such a great reminder to us every day. We must not put our hope in the things of this world. Whether it is money, the latest new trend, or even necessary resources. We must remember that as God's children this is not our home. If we store up treasures for ourselves here they WILL be destroyed. However, when we forsake these things and chose to follow Christ we store up treasures in Heaven! Our greatest treasure is intimate relationship with Christ himself and no rust can destroy that an no thieve can ever steal that from us! Verse 21 is really interesting though as it says "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." The order is important. When we choose to discipline ourselves in our walks with the Lord we are choosing to make him our treasure. Scripture tells us that where we place our treasure that our heart will follow. When we daily choose Christ we can trust that we will grow in love or Him as well. Let us treasure Christ together and wait in eager anticipation for the day we can be with him in perfection.
🌴🙏PRAY: Thank God for treasuring you so that you may know how to treasure and love Him. Ask him to help you to be disciplined in your relationship with Him. Ask that God would help each one of us to let go of the temporary things that we treasure on this earth that distract us from Him. Pray that He will teach us how to treasure him more each day so that we can fall more in love with Him!
🌴😃🌴😀🌴😄CHRIST IS THE ULTIMATE TREASURE! HE IS BETTER THAN ANY EARTHLY TREASURE YOU COULD THINK OF!
