Category: Storing Up Treasures in Heaven

Matthew 6:19 (NKJV) 19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;

When I was young, I liked to buy things. Sometimes I would spend a lot of time just looking for something to buy.

Now that I am not so young, this is no longer the case.

Don’t get me wrong. I still enjoy buying something occasionally, but typically only if it’s something that I need.

I have learned that the more things we own, the more problems we have because those things break or fail us.

And those things don’t bring us happiness in the truest sense of the word.

They may bring us pleasure for a time, but that pleasure fades. The excitement dissipates, usually rather quickly, and then we tend to move on to the next thing we want to buy.

Let us not spend the money that God blesses us with on things that rust, break down, fade or get stolen by thieves.

Let us, instead, spend our time, money and effort storing up treasures in heaven.

We need to let God teach us how He wants us to handle our finances and the things we spend our money on. If we do this, it will change the way we look at our finances. It will change our spending habits.

And it will even change what we like and don’t like regarding what we buy. The things we used to like to spend our money on will fade away into the distant past as God transforms our heart and mind.
