What Do You Treasure?

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:” Matthew‬ ‭6:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

According to Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word for “Treasure” is, ‘thēsauros’ (G2344) which means, “the place in which good and precious things are collected and laid up, a receptacle in which valuables are kept, a treasury, storehouse, repository.” What’s in the treasury of your heart? 

What have you stored up in the repository of your heart? Do you value the Word of God more than the things of this world? Who do you treasure? What do you treasure? Do you honor and treasure the Principles and Precepts of God more than the treasures of this world? Choose to surrender to Christ. Choose to surrender every area of your heart over to God. Choose to value Him.

Matthew‬ ‭6:19‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, “Do not gather and heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal.” Earthly possessions are temporary. Natural treasures are seasonal. Lay up your treasures in Heaven. Surrender your heart to God. Choose to invest in the things that are eternal. Choose to surrender your ways over to Christ. Allow His Word to lead and direct your path. 

Matthew‬ ‭6:19‬ ‭NLT‬‬ declares, “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.” Wealth is temporary. Influence is temporary. Popularity is temporary. But God’s Word is eternal. God’s Word leads us and teaches us how to surrender our hearts over to Him. Focus on the things that are eternal. Choose to put your trust in Christ — choose to treasure Him. “Don’t hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths and corroded by rust or—worse!—stolen by burglars.” Matthew‬ ‭6:19‬ ‭MSG‬‬
