Scripture
Where your treasure is there the desires of your heart will be also
Observation
Jesus tells us to let go of the possessions that hold us in bondage. Instead, we are to trust that God will supply what we need.
We must b ready for when the Lord returns. He could come at any time of the day.
Application
Jesus is saying that we need to put the demands of the kingdom ahead of our own desires. Instead of obsessing over our possessions, our career, superannuation and investments, our hearts should be focussed on serving Him.
He is not saying that christians should drop out of work and trust God to supply what they need. No, work is a part of His provision for us. Rather the emphasis here is on our focus. Do I put my security in my possessions or in the size of my bank account?
For followers of Jesus the place of our trust must always be in the person of Jesus.
Prayer
Lord please help me to treasure you and you alone. Amen.
