What do you treasure
most in your life? Before you answer that, consider this. We treasure that
which consumes our time, thoughts, and energy. We pursue diligently what we
treasure. We treasure most what we work the hardest at obtaining. We consider
our treasure to be worth whatever sacrifices we have to make in order to get
it. What we treasure can change, depending on circumstances or stages of life.
If you were to rate
the things you treasure most in life by the amount of time and energy you put
into obtaining it on a scale of 1-10, where would the Lord rate? Are you more
concerned about other things than you are the Lord? We can’t avoid seeking
after other things in life, but are they of more value to us than the Lord? Be
honest. What are you investing your life into obtaining?
We can profess our
allegiance to Christ all we want to, but unless our words are backed up by our
lives, they don’t mean a thing. The Lord knows where He fits into your life’s
priorities, and so do you. Do you need to get your priorities straight?
Your heart is where
your treasure is. What means the most to
you: your spouse, children, job, hobbies, recreation, career, church,
faith? You value the most what you do
the most. You think about those things
that you value the most. If the Lord is
not your most valued treasure, your heart is not right with God.
