Read this verse this morning and made me do some thinking:
Matthew 6:19-21
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.
These Words come straight from the mouth of Jesus. He warns us here about hoarding things here on earth. So many things can happen to our material things while we are on this earth. Cloth can be destroyed by moths or other things. Rust destroys our precious metals. I had to replace a grill recently because the rust had destroyed it. If our stuff is not destroyed this way then thieves are everywhere and will try to steal out things! Jesus tells us to lay our treasures up in heaven where nothing can destroy them! Everything we do for God is remembered by God and we gain rewards for this. How many rewards do you have stored up in heaven??? God's Word says where ever our heart is that is where we are storing up treasures. Think on this for a moment. Are you storing more up in your home or in heaven? It is an indication of where our hearts are!
