As we continue our series, looking at the heart behind spending time alone with God.

Today we're going to look at the daily opportunity to store the treasure of our hearts in heaven.

May God guide us into a passion for investing our lives in his kingdom, that we would

have the most joy and peace possible here on earth as well as in heaven. Welcome to the

First 15 podcast. 20th

2. Our scripture for today comes from Matthew 6, verses 19 through 21.

Scripture says, 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.

In Matthew 6 verses 19 through 21, Jesus teaches us an important spiritual principle we need

to know in order to give God the entirety of our hearts.

Again, scripture says, 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.

You are the child of a loving God who is desperately jealous for the entirety of your heart.

Matthew 619 through 21 illustrates a truth that spans beyond this world and into the fullness of eternity.

You and I have an opportunity in this life, either to give our hearts to God

and receive an eternal reward or to give our hearts to the world, which will only lead to

Father, or seek fulfillment, pleasure, status, and wealth in that which belongs to the world
