Where Is Your Treasure?
Have you ever been on a treasure hunt? I can still feel the excitement of going from location to location, and then finally, finding the treasure. I am one of the best cheerleaders of fortune seekers at the beach. They stroll along, head down, swaying their metal detectors across the sand, listening for that special signal. I keep hoping they find something good!
According to Readers” Digest, a wealthy casino heir buried a silver collection worth several million dollars somewhere on his ranch. Though he died over twenty years ago, there are still seekers that continue to search the area.
There are also treasure-seekers that still search the area from Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay all the way south to Cayman Islands, looking for Blackbeard’s treasures. He was executed in 1718, and no one has yet been successful.
What if you found a treasure? What would you do with it? Put it in a bank, bury it, or find another safe place? Matthew 6:21 admonishes, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven...”
How do we store treasure in Heaven? Paul writes in his first letter to Timothy, “Command them to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves ... for the coming age...”. I’ll let you think about how to go about fulfilling this charge.
“Father, help me be responsible for the treasures you have given me. Guide me in using them for what will benefit Heaven and Eternity.”
NIV Matthew 6:21, 1 Timothy 6:18-19
