Where Your Treasure Is, Your Heart Is, Also

Message Summary: God could care less about our money. God is concerned about our hearts. God is concerned about the purity of our hearts and if our treasure has been put in the wrong places. If our hearts are in the right place, then our money will be in the right place. As Jesus tells us in Mathew 6:19-21: "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." Sadly, too many of our hearts are filled with greed and envy; therefore, our treasure has become our God.

 

Today’s Affirmation: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Addictions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit’s fruit of Self-Control. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).
