We are rich.
In one sense or another, we all have wealth. What do we count as our treasures?
As we read Jesus’s words in Matthew 6:19-21 this week, let us ponder:
- What do I value the most?
- What brings me the most satisfaction?
- What would I most hate to lose?
Then may we reflect on if our treasures are mostly comforts in this life or are of value forever.
Jesus wasn’t opposed to pleasure now, but He was encouraging the highest pleasure found in God, both now and later.
We’ll continue to see this over the next three weeks as we memorize these six verses, Matthew 6:19-24, on “treasuring.” We hope you’ll stay with us.
What are your richest treasures? Please share in the comments.
No question about it — my family is my biggest treasure from God. I’ll be pondering this blessing as I meditate on these verses this week.
Relationships are eternal. Beautiful treasures, Michele! I was blessed to spend time with some of my treasures this past Easter weekend and I loved it.
What I love about this verse is thinking about what treasures we are going to have in heaven. All of our loved ones that have departed and are waiting there for us!!
Yes, Paula! I love thinking of all those treasures already there too, just waiting on us to join them for eternity. Thanks for sharing.
