Matthew 6:21
“For where your treasure is,
there also will be your heart.”
In this verse, in context, Jesus is telling us not to focus on things of the earth but to focus on Heaven and God, He is asking us where our heart is, is it seeking earthly riches or the riches that come from a real relationship with God, the Father?
This passage means to me that those things we hold dear, those things we strive for are where our sole focus is going to be. We will focus all our attention on those things we consider a “treasure” to us. Whether it be money, your children, your work or anything else. By allowing our hearts to be solely focused on treasures that are earthly we miss out on the greatest treasure of all, God’s infinite love for us and all the benefits of a real relationship with God. It is easy to act the part of the “Good Christian” seeming spiritual or godly, when in fact in private, in our hearts we still seek the things of the world and the praise of other people instead of doing what we a charged to do, which is to glorify God.
Later in this chapter he states, “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money” This can apply to any other thing that will take our focus off of God. There are so many things vying for our hearts and control of our lives. It is important to remember that God only asks one thing of us, that we glorify Him in all we do. I’ll end with 4 questions that we must ask ourselves:
1. Where is our treasure?
2. Where is our heart?
3. What are we focused on?
4. Who are we serving?
