Matthew 6:19-24
Treasures 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.
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Jesus teaches us that no one can serve two masters...And one of the masters He is talking about is money...One can easily get devoted to money and seemingly tied to earth more and more, where this world is of utmost importance to us, and we see and feel God less...Money can become our master if we are not careful...
C. S. Lewis said this about money and the prosperity it brings to those on earth...“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.”...
