Jesus Said Where Your Treasure Is

Tuesday March 22, 2022

If we treasure something, we usually take special care of it. We don’t neglect it or leave it where it could get damaged or stolen or forgotten about. When we have had a spiritual awakening, we need to cherish what we have learned about God and all He has done for us that we might walk in freedom from sin. To value where we are at, we need to keep our focus on our conscious contact with God and ask Him to help guard our hearts against the accuser’s attacks and temptations.  We also should ask God to help us believe the Scriptures and treasure the truth that brings us new life.

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven…...for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:20a, 21 NASB)

Seeking God first and His righteousness means we acknowledge that we don’t have righteousness of our own but stand in the righteousness that the Lord Jesus purchased for us by dying for our sin.  We get to know God and His ways and practice His principles in all our affairs. As we look to God’s Word to guide us, we give up our own petty wants and desires in favour of learning what God’s good will is for our lives. God has a plan for each of us and He will give us the power to carry it out.

Now may the God of peace…..equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. (Hebrews 13:20a, 21 NIV)

Through giving our will and life over to the care of God, we have become God’s precious children. He will watch over us and protect us as we continue to seek first His Kingdom.   We will begin to treasure the Word of God and the life that God has given us and rejoice that God has promised to equip us with everything good.

I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great treasure. Great peace have those who love Your law, And nothing causes them to stumble. (Psalm 119:162, 165 NKJV)


Prayer: Gracious God, Thank You for loving me and giving me the power to live my new life.  Amen
