What We Treasure -fr 1 minute Daily Devotions


"...but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where moth and rust do not destroy, and where
thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

- Matthew 6:20-21

I chuckled when I read a magazine cartoon that
showed a news conference called by a
United States senator who announced
that he was divorcing his family so he could
spend more time with politics.

We may scoff at the folly of his announcement,
but the truth is that many people make
that same statement everyday.
Maybe not with words, but with their actions.

So many more, in fact, that if a politician retires
from his work to spend more time with his family,
it becomes the lead story met with cynicism
on the evening news, while the one who rejects
his family advancing his career is too plentiful to notice.
God tells us we should work hard and that
we should work heartily to the glory of God.

But He has clearly shown that we must have priorities.
Pleasing God and meeting the needs of the family must
have high priority.
Think about the priorities and the things you cherish in your life.

The Bible says that we have brought nothing into this world
and we can take nothing out of it. It's good to focus on the
things that last....



Our giftings, talents, things that we own now are all from Him,
seek to manage and use it well in His way.
