Today...short and not so sweet (at least not to me):
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where theives break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where theives do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."--Matthew 6:19--21.
I'll be honest with you. There's always a "wow" factor to me when I read this verse...and sometimes not in a good way. More that convicting type of poke in the heart that we never like to have happen to us.
I mean, if I'm reading this correctly, it means that the things we spend our money on are real indicators of what our souls are like.
Really, that's all we need to talk about today. What did we spend our money on today? The last week? The last month? The last year? What does it say about the state of our souls?
Like the rest of the chapter highlights, God will take care of our true needs. So don't worry.
We're supposed to seek God's Kingdom first and the rest are just details. So don't worry.
If we really trusted God, and sought the Kingdom first, what would we spend our money on? Would it be different than what we did today? Last week? Last month?
Something to journal about, I think.
