“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Luke 12:34 ESV).
Jesus taught his disciples not to be anxious about what they would eat or what they would wear. Neither should they seek after these things as the world does. Instead they were to seek after the Lord’s Kingdom, knowing that all these things would be given to them. For what they treasured most would reveal the spiritual condition of their hearts.
Isn’t that what the teaching of Jesus is always aimed at? He aims to reveal our heart condition to us, so that we might repent and ask him for a changed heart. A heart that seeks after eternal things rather than worldly things. A heart that prays “Thy” kingdom come prayers rather than “My” kingdom come prayers. A heart that beats for God and treasures the heart of God.
What do treasure most? Where is your heart today?
PRAYER: Dear Father, our hearts are often anxious and fearful for temporary and worldly things. Forgive us. Help us to fix our hearts and minds on You and on Your Kingdom. For Your Son is our great treasure. In Jesus name, amen.
