Think about what matters to you. Meditate on what Jesus
expects of us about what is important to us…our treasures.
Don't store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust
destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in
heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and
steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Matthew 6:19-21

| What do you treasure? |
What do you treasure, value, or consider
important? Look around you. What can’t you live without…photos, computer, TV,
jewelry, cameras, music equipment, books, legal papers, fancy clothes? But then
consider what those who have died took with them. NOTHING! Jesus gave us good
advice… Don't store up treasures
here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them. So what are
your spiritual treasures? Have you considered that you are special—a
treasure—to God.
The
LORD has declared today that you are his people, his own special treasure, just
as he promised, and that you must obey all his commands. Deuteronomy 26:18
You are a treasure to God Himself...if you can put Him first.
If you give up your lust for money and throw
your precious gold into the river, the Almighty himself will be your treasure.
He will be your precious silver! Job 22:24-25
I love it that the
Almighty…God Himself…is my treasure. Other treasures?
Your laws are my treasure; they are my
heart's delight. Psalm 119:111
Follow my advice, my son; always treasure my
commands. Proverbs 7:1
Wise people treasure knowledge, but the
babbling of a fool invites disaster. Proverbs 10:14
In that day he will be your sure foundation,
providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the
LORD will be your treasure. Isaiah 33:6
Treasure God
Himself, and everything about the Lord. Salvation, wisdom, knowledge, commands,
obedience, fear or respect. I think that
other “treasures” might be considered: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Those are the treasures that I value. What do you treasure?
Prayer ~Lord, I treasure You. Lead me in the
way of righteousness that I would please You in all that I think, say and do
and that in Heaven You would be my ultimate treasure.
