Treasure
Some things are very simple and don’t need a lot elaboration. (My daily Bible reading recently was from Luke 12.)
//Inspiration: Luke 12:34
For where your treasure is, there yur heart will be also.
//Incarnation:
There are two crucial issues for me concerning these verses. First, I’ve got to be honest with myself before God abut WHAT my treasure is. Second, I need to determine where I’ve invested that treasure.
Are my treasures Kingdom-focused? Are they people-focused? Are they about fulfilling and blessing me or are they about honoring Christ and blessing others? When I look in my heart, what is it pursuing with passion, focus, and purpose?
//Invitation:
O LORD God, you know my heart and can test my motives. Please purify my heart and help me desire the things you want and to love the things you cherish. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
