18That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Devotional Reflection

GratitudeHope

How do you keep your heart safe? Where we find our heart is where we value the most. So it is an important question. We can value money, power, safety, and good relationships. Jesus tells us that the only way to find real treasure is to let go of the things that most of us think of as our treasures.

Prayer

I ask you, majestic Father, to help me find my treasure in you and to place no other treasures above you out of the abundance of your grace. I want to give you everything I am and have today so that I can live my life to your honor. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
