(Mat 6:19-21 NKJV) “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; {20} “but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. {21} “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Where are our hearts? What do we treasure?
The answers to these two questions can tell us a lot about ourselves and where we are at in our walk with God.
What makes us happy and puts a smile on our faces will be dictated by what we value the most. Is it a shiny new car, a big house with lots of extra rooms, a new wardrobe, a new job or a raise on our current job?
Or is it seeing someone receive a breakthrough in their life, helping someone through a tough time, giving someone money when they’re in a tough financial situation or helping someone to have strength when they feel like they just can’t take another thing happening to them?
Don’t get me wrong. It’s not terrible to enjoy stuff. Believe me… I enjoy stuff too. But we need to make sure that God and His desires for us come before that stuff. We need to take pleasure in the things that give God pleasure.
When we press into God and begin to get His heart, then we will start to see the things that make us happy begin to change.
