“The Treasure of Your Heart”
gods word our hidden treasure

 

by Dona Hake

 

Matthew 6:19-21  (Darby)

“Don’t pile up treasures on earth, where moth and rust can spoil them and thieves can break in and steal. But keep your treasure in Heaven where there is neither moth nor rust to spoil it and nobody can break in and steal. For wherever your treasure is, you may be certain that your heart will be there too!”
 
 

 

There are so many things in this life that can serve to distract us from what is really the most important things in life.    Many may feel that if they only had more money  that everything would be better.  All you have to do is drive down the highway, and every other billboard calls out to you to glance at it.   They purpose to speak of what beauty and success can be.You could be the richest and most beautiful person in the world yet  have an empty and lonely heart.  The things in this world cannot compare to those things  that proceed from the windows of Heaven.  We need to remind ourselves to be in great gratitude and thanks to our Lord for how He has touched in our lives.

 

When we start to accumulate the beautiful treasures that only Heaven can birth in our hearts, we will know and understand that they cannot be taken from us.  His Word should be our greatest treasure and we need to guard it with all diligence.
 

 

Proverbs 4:23 (Amplified)

Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.
 

 

Today I encourage you to look up!  Look up and remind yourself of all the wonderful things that He has touched your heart with.  There are blessings all around you and He desires that you embrace a heart of thankfulness, and that you would never take any good thing for granted.  It is God that is the giver of all good things and today we can praise Him for that!
