I love the following recent "Weekly Wisdom" put out by Rob West, host of the Faith & Finance podcast & radio show. What is the treasure of your heart?
Jesus warned his followers in Luke 12: “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
If life doesn’t consist in the abundance of possessions, then what is an abundant life? Here’s what Jesus says about this in John 10:9. “I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that theymay have life and have it abundantly.”
You see, money and possessions will not bring us true abundance. An abundant life is only found in the person and work of Jesus. We are to wisely steward what God has entrusted to us, but we must “be on guard” to not let anything take the place of God as the treasure of our hearts.
