Try Not To: Be a Hoarder

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin 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). While we are here on earth, we need to place our treasure in what is eternal.

How to store in heaven

We need to devote ourselves to God and growing His kingdom. “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20 NIV). Listening to God’s word and obeying Him in everything we do is devoting ourselves to Him.

”There your heart will also be”

All throughout the Bible we see how important it is to do a daily heart check. How we live, act, think, and speak all show where our heart is. “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23 NIV).

Try not to be a hoarder. Instead, try to devote your life to God and think about the eternal!
