‘“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.’ Matthew 6:19-21
One of the key areas of distraction in our lives is gathering what the Bible calls earthly treasures, which are essentially material possessions. While there is nothing wrong with these, the Bible instructs that we don’t lose sight of storing up treasures in heaven. There is a saying that you will never see a moving van behind a hearse. Once a person crosses over to the other side of eternity, every material possession will be left behind. Armed with this understanding therefore, it would be wise for us to keep our focus on the things that will count through eternity.
In this study we will look at critical elements of storing treasures in heaven so that we can live wise and unburdened lives.
Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will help us live with eternity in mind so we use every opportunity available to credit our heavenly treasury. Click here to download the series.
