For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6:21 KJV
Notice Jesus didn't say, 'where your heart is, you will put your treasure'. No, the treasure comes first, the heart follows.
On a spiritual level, our treasures and hearts are toward Heaven. Our blessings are to be shared with the intent of winning others to Christ. Our hearts should long for the day we are with Him. Most Christians understand this and have no trouble showing proof of this attitude in their lives.
But what about the practical less spiritual applications? Where are your treasures while you're here? Careful what you invest your treasures in. Your time. Your money. Your emotions. Because your heart will surely follow.
The Message says it this way: It's obvious, isn't it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.
Over the last few days, I've been thinking about where my treasure is and where I want to end up being. I'll be making a few changes around my storehouse and a course correction or two.
