“Sell your material possessions, and give the money to the poor. Make yourselves wallets that don’t wear out! Make a treasure for yourselves in heaven that never loses its value! In heaven thieves and moths can’t get close enough to destroy your treasure. Your heart will be where your treasure is.” LUKE 12:33–34 GW
Is it time to declutter your home? Have you been in collector mode, falling prey to the world’s offerings? Have you been caught up in keeping up? Maybe you’ve lost focus on where to store up treasures and you need a reboot in righteous living. Friend, sometimes it’s easy to lose perspective. It’s just an unfortunate part of the human condition.
Scripture says that where we work to collect—on earth or in heaven—is where our hearts lie too. Consider these questions with honesty: Has there been distance in your relationship with God? Has time in the Word or in prayer slid down the to-do list? Have you been more focused on your desires than those of the divine? Wherever we’re determined to store up treasures reveals our deepest priorities.
Let today be a new start, a pivot back to what matters most. Confess and repent as you turn your eyes to God. And let Him give you an eternal perspective that helps you navigate life with purpose and passion.
Dear Lord, I want to store up my treasures in heaven. Please show me how. In Jesus’ name, amen.
