TODAY’S TOPIC: Guarding Your treasure
Text: Matthew 6:19-23 (NIV)
"6:19. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
6:20. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
6:21. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
6:22. "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
6:23. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"
SHOWER (Reflection):
Treasure is your loved or valued item. There is no one that value or treasure what they don't value. According to our today's Buble passage, our treasure is supposed to be stored in a safe place depending on how we valued it. Yes. If you value money, you store it in the bank for onward use. If you value clothes, you store it in the wardrobe. This is to keep it safe for future use and benefits. But one day, all these things listed will be rotten, stolen or join the dead body of the owner to the grave. That's why God wants us to secure our heart in Heaven. He sees our heart as the most valuable treasure. Let's secure it now to avoid hard I know. How can we do that? It is by giving our lives to Christ; living holy and relating well with God and people around us.
