Store Up Treasures in Heaven - Inspire Within Devotions

Inspire Within Devotion


Scripture

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Matthew 6:19-21, NIV

Encouragement

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be. When we set our heart on the wrong treasures, it leads our heart to the wrong place. Our heart desires Christ, not things of this world, such as money and possessions. We should live contently with what we have and value the eternal treasures over earthy treasures. Let’s store our treasures in heaven instead of treasures of the earth. 

Reflection

Do you focus more on what possessions you have or what you have through a life with Christ? Do you care more about growing your temporary belongings with money or growing in your eternal relationship with God? 

Quote

"We should live contently with what we have and value the eternal treasures over earthy treasures."
