Joshua 24:1-33; Isaiah 19:1-20:6; 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth…but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven…For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:19-21
To seriously lay up treasure, we must act wholeheartedly. This will be impossible to do with our heart in two places. We must all decide where we want our treasure to be—a very difficult thing to do in our affluent and wealth-defined world. As a result of deciding where we will lay up treasure, we’ll know where our heart is too. Any treasure on earth will be left behind. Our heavenly treasure will abide eternally. —Ken Gross
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart.
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art,
Thou my best thought, by day or by night;
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. —Irish Hymn, 8th Century
