Matthew 6:19-21
Treasures Are in Heaven
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
John 14:6
The Truth
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
I believe that the way Jesus went about His life, He was a Prosperous Person...He was always teaching about God and about the Kingdom of Heaven...This made His Though Process very Prosperous...
When we believe that prosperity is found only on earth, where moths and vermin can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them, then we have not really found our treasures...So when I read this and then read where C. S. Lewis wrote, “Prosperity knits a man to the world...He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.”, I think of the verses about what Jesus said about treasures...Prosperity can become an obstacle to heaven...If we treasure prosperity and think and use it unwisely on earth, then we have found our treasure on earth as being prosperous...But if we use prosperity as Jesus teaches then we can find our way to heaven and to His Father through Him...For treasures are more than stored up wealth, where our treasures are -are really where our hearts will be...
