Treasures

Matthew 6:19-21 NIV

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

I am on the association board for our subdivision and this past year there have been a few residence that want us to change the bi-laws to allow building sheds.  The argument from that group is that if they can’t have a shed then they may need to move as they have run out of space.  Of course there are those that oppose it also who have said that it’s time to take inventory of what you are storing and get rid of junk. 

We are told in Matthew that we are not to store up earthly treasures, “things”.  Rather we should be storing up treasures in heaven.  What are treasures in heaven? 

Treasures in heaven are a number of different things.  Jesus is one of our treasures.  If we are committing our resources, be it money, time or talents, to do his work, that is storing up treasures in heaven. 


How are you investing what God has given you to produce more treasure for him?
