Matthew 6:21 (NKJV) 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Where our treasure is, there our heart will also be.
This was such a short, simple statement made by Jesus. But it sums up our entire walk with God perfectly.
Whatever our heart is focused on is what we will spend time on. Our “treasure” will occupy our time, our thoughts and our attention.
When we open our mouth to speak, what’s in our heart will come out. If our treasure is money, we will talk of financial matters. If our treasure is our hobby, we will spend as much time as possible thinking and talking about it, as well as participating in it.
If our treasure is our spouse, we will spend all of our time and effort trying to please them. Sometimes we might even put our spouse before God.
If we want to please God and build a strong relationship with Him, we need to be sure we are putting Him first in everything. He needs to come before our money, our hobbies, our careers and, yes, even before our spouse.
And if we love God and put Him first, our priorities will fall into order and the love that we show our spouse won’t be forced or artificial. It will be like God’s love is pouring directly from Him to our spouse, with us acting as the funnel that it flows through.
And so it will be with everything else. Once we let God set our priorities in order, He will oversee our career, our family, our finances and everything else that’s important in our lives.
