"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." -Matthew 6:19-21 (NASB)
There are times when our wants may be misinterpreted as "needs", we think we need things when we really only want them. As adults we may recognize the difference between wants and needs, but we may ignore our minds and go about the game of convincing ourselves that we need certain things and more of them! Many of the earthly things we think we need end up getting in our way and keep us from fully experiencing God's plan in our lives.
All of the things we collect, save, buy, and have on earth may impact our lives in the present, but none of them can impact our lives for eternity. We may get distracted in trying to protect or gather up "things" and lose focus on our faith and our call to serve God and those around us. With faith and trust in God, our hearts will be focused on serving God and those around us. As we remember the source of our Salvation and share with others, we can refocus our hearts and store up indestructible treasures in Heaven!
Remember that a want is not a need! Refocus your heart on God and store up indestructible treasures in Heaven!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Salvation through Your Son and the promise of eternal life in Heaven. Help me to refocus my heart on You so that I can help others and store up treasures in Heaven. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
