“The Treasure of Your Heart”
by Dona Hake
Matthew 6:19-20 (AMP)
“Do not store up for yourselves [material] treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in and steal…”
When we purpose to store the beautiful treasures that are only birthed by Him, we will know and understand that they cannot be taken from us. Material things come and go because they wear out or their worth may fade. Material things are just not enough to satisfy the yearning of man’s heart. The heavenly treasures most assuredly cannot be touched. Right now as I am writing this devotional my heart is thinking about what a treasure it is when we receive light and revelation from His Word. The more we meditate upon it the stronger and richer that truth becomes to us. His Word is such a precious 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 and life with. These ARE the treasures of our life. These treasures cannot be bought but only received with humble hearts. There are treasures and blessings all around you, and He desires that we embrace them with a heart of thankfulness, and that we 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!
