Matthew 6:19-21 (NKJV) 19 “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.
We’re born. We live. We die.
Our lives are brief compared to eternity. So what do we do with our lives while we’re here on earth?
Modern culture tells us that we should work hard to climb the ladder of success. You know, own a home, drive a nice car and work a great job.
“Make a lot of money”, says the world. “The more money you make, the happier you will be”.
But what did Jesus say? “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth“.
That sounds quite the opposite of what most of us are taught!
No, it’s not wrong to be successful. No, it’s not wrong to have nice things.
But where is our heart? Are we spending more time and effort chasing after these things than we are chasing after God?
Something for us to think about.
Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NKJV) 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
