Scripture:
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Luke 12:34
Observation:
I often wonder why my heart doesn't seem to be in the right place, or why I don't care about things I should. I wonder why I am so easily angered by my spouse or children. It all comes down to what I treasure. Am I treasuring my husband? Do I treasure my children? Do I treasure others? Chances are, I am treasuring something I should not when I lack the desire to care for things and/or people I should.
Application:
It's time I figure out what I currently treasure, and what I should be treasuring. Do they line up? Soul searching is in order. I need to dig up my treasure and trade it in so that my heart will be where it should.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for revealing to me that my heart is not in the right place and that I need to find a new treasure. As I seek and as I listen, help me to find the treasure You desire me to have. Reveal to me the things of this world that are not worth treasuring and make room in my heart for what You have to offer.
In the name of Jesus Christ,
~Amen
Of course Jesus should be our finest treasure. However, when we have a heart for Jesus, He gives us a heart for others and a desire to seek His character. When we treasure what God has deemed valuable because we ultimately treasure Jesus, it's an amazing thing.
