Treasures in Heaven
Do not store up for yourselves 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 or steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Mathew 6:19-21
When our LORD Jesus Christ was ministering on earth two thousand years ago, He gave this very important instruction which is very true and applies even today.
Many followers of Christ needs to remember this important truth. We easily get carried away by the world around us.
We easily follow walking in the way the world does, looking at our neighbors, friends, and relatives and doing things that they do,
buying things that they buy and following the pattern of the world.
Our LORD Jesus points to a reality. When we do the way the world does and gather treasures and wealth for our own pleasure, it is quiet obvious that those things will fade away and become of no use.
Sometimes thieves come to steel them, break into the homes were such earthly treasures are stored and cause havoc in our lives.
Wealth and treasures that we store here on earth becomes of no use, unless and until we start using them for helping the poor and the needy, reaching to the lost and dying and to spread the gospel.
When we do that our LORD Jesus Himself said that we store up treasures in heaven where thieves cannot steel and insects and rust cannot destroy.
In fact heaven is the place we are going to spend eternity and it would be beneficial to store up treasures their in heaven rather on earth were we only live temporarily.
It is a great blessing to be rich in heaven than being on earth.
Today start working towards storing up treasures in heaven, which you can enjoy for eternity.
May the goodness of God surround you and bless you and make it a blessing for many needy, poor and the lost who needs gospel.
