Read Matthew 6:21 NLT

Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

What things do you treasure in this life?  They are the things you value the most.  The things you will protect at great cost.  Some will be tangible – family, relationships, material things.  And some will be intangible – values and ideals.  My guess is that your life and your priorities arrange themselves around the things that you treasure quite naturally.

But perhaps the deeper matter this verse is getting at is this question:  How do the things you treasure – the things you value – line up with your faith?  Do you put God first in each of them?  Do you trust them to God completely? Does your heart look like God’s in relation to the things you treasure?

Spend some time in prayer today seeking God’s heart.  Ask Him to continue to mold your heart to value what He values as you seek to say yes to Him more and more each day.
