Where Is Your Treasure?

Scripture Focus:

Matthew 6:19–21 (NIV)
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Devotional Message:

Let’s be real. Life pulls us in every direction. We chase jobs, chase likes, chase dreams, and in the middle of it all, we sometimes lose sight of what really matters.

In Matthew 6, Jesus isn’t just offering financial advice. He’s exposing the heart. He’s asking a piercing question: What do you treasure most? Because whatever has your treasure has your attention. And whatever has your attention eventually claims your heart.

He warns us that earthly things are fragile. They rust. They get stolen. They fade. And yet, many of us treat them like they’re eternal. Promotions, possessions, popularity — none of these will matter on the other side of eternity. But things like love, obedience, prayer, soul-winning, giving, service — those are investments that never lose value.

Here’s the  insight: Some of us are praying for breakthrough while still treasuring what God told us to release. We’re asking for light while hiding our hearts in the shadows of worldly attachment. But the Lord is calling us higher. He wants to rewire our desires, sharpen our focus, and reset our hearts.

He’s calling us to invest in heaven. That means putting time into prayer, energy into purpose, and resources into the things that touch eternity. It’s not a call to poverty, but a call to priority.

Reflection Questions:

• If your phone could track your thoughts, what would it say you treasure most?
• What’s something you’ve held on to that God might be asking you to release?
• How can you invest in heaven today — not just in word, but in action?

 Prayer Charge:

Heavenly Father,
I confess that my heart has been cluttered. Too often, I’ve chased things that have no eternal weight. Today, I return. Refocus my heart. Pull me out of every misplaced pursuit and fill me with divine hunger. Make me a vessel that values what You value. Teach me to invest my time, talent, and treasure in what truly matters. Let my heart burn again for prayer, for people, and for purpose. I choose to treasure You above all. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
