A Devotion On Treasures

A Devotion On Treasures

Matthew 6:19-21

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steel:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steel:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

This scripture doesn't mean that you can't buy a new computer or by a new wardrobe. What it means is that you shouldn't buy lots and lots of things that you don't need and also that you shouldn't be focusing on your trophies, but rather focusing on the treasures of heaven. Because the things that we store up for ourselves on earth are just going to break, rust, etc. We should focus on more spiritual things, like doing good deeds, making atheists believers, doing the right thing, etc. We can receive the treasures in Heaven if we truly believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and accept Him as our personal Lord and Savior.

"Father, help me to not put all my time on my trophies and treasures here on earth, but help me to be a light for you and help me to store up for myself treasures in heaven. Thank you for everything that you do for me and thank you for dying on the cross for me, to wash away my sins. Its through Jesus I pray, Amen."
