Where Your Treasure Is

Where Your Treasure Is…

Good morning,

Today, let’s take a moment to examine where we are placing our treasure and what truly holds our heart.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:21

Imagine opening your phone and seeing your entire bank balance wiped out. Panic sets in, right? Now, picture losing your most treasured relationship. Which hits harder?

In Matthew 6:21, Jesus isn’t offering financial advice—He’s offering us a heart check. He’s asking, “Where is your treasure, and what’s your real currency?” We live in a world obsessed with accumulating likes, followers, square footage, digits in our accounts. But Jesus flips the script, telling us that our hearts follow our investments, not the other way around.

Think about it: What keeps you up at night? What’s the first thing you check when you wake up? These aren’t just random habits—they’re treasure maps leading straight to your heart. It’s not about feeling guilty for enjoying life’s blessings but about recognizing the difference between owning things and being owned by them.

Jesus invites us to invest in what truly satisfies—faith, relationships, acts of kindness, and moments that echo into eternity. So today, let’s be honest: Are we storing up treasures that fade or investing in what lasts forever?

In God’s economy, love outweighs gold, and relationships trump real estate. God doesn’t just want your obedience—He wants your heart. And where you plant your treasure, that’s where your heart will grow.

Heavenly Father, Thank You for reminding me where my heart truly belongs. In a world full of distractions and fleeting desires, help me to treasure what truly lasts—Your love, my faith, and the people You’ve placed in my life. When I’m tempted to chase after things that won’t satisfy, gently draw me back to what’s eternal. Give me the wisdom to let go of what fades and the courage to cling tightly to You. May my life reflect Your grace and kindness, and may my heart always find its true home in Your love—the place where real joy and lasting peace are found. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

He is no fool who gives what he can not keep to gain that which he can not lose.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
