Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:19-21
Wherever your treasure is, your heart will be there too. Choose to treasure things of eternal value. Why? Earthly possessions are vulnerable. Moths destroy fabrics, rust destroys metals, and thieves can always steal. It’s hard to know when you’ve accumulated enough here on earth, especially if you genuinely “treasure” material possessions. So, God gives wisdom about treasures.
Treasure things of eternal value. Treat things done for eternity just as real as things accumulated here on earth. And treasure the eternal more than the earthly possessions.
